It Follows (2014)

SYNOPSIS: Wierd supernatural killer gets passed around from person-to-person by sexual encounters in this 80s-vibe flick. The only way to get rid of it is to have sex again with someone else and pass it on. It certainly does follow!
HIGHS: The nod to the future – clamshell kindle anyone?
 Invisible hair pulling. Hair G-string.
LOWS: Poor Mans Joshua Jackson's earring. Slow round the room pan shot. Remarkably clean pool for a dark building. Local/Russian hookers.

MEMORABLE LINES: "I'm pretty sure he would have came by now given that he's probably a virgin." - my Paul


Sammy: 6/10
Paul: 6.2/10



SUPER disappointed. I feel this movie could have been so much more. The potential was there!

The Babadook (2014)

SYNOPSIS: Sad sack widow mum with a bad tooth slowly turns cuckoo. Sped up by her wide-eyed, crazy, magic-loving/weapon-making kid. And the Babadook living in her basement.
HIGHS: Awesome freaky Mister Babadook book. Re-introduction of the personal massager. Creepy as F*ck.
LOWS: Extreme close up detail shots. Annoying kid. Lunchroom love. Phone call from Babadook.
MEMORABLE LINES: "She won't let me have a birthday party, and she won't let me have a dad!" - Kid

Sammy: 9/10
Paul: 8/10
