It Follows.

Just as a matter of reference--One of the most well-made scary movies in recent years. Check it out if you haven't seen it already:

But that's just me.

Wasn't there a long scene of the characters sitting on the grass in front of a house FOREVER?

It's not a slasher type movie, so if you're expecting that you might be disappointed.

But psychological thrillers are my favorites. This one wasn't bad, it just seemed a bit slow. And it didn't have Jamie Lee Curtis.

Sorry, I couldn't resist that frivolous addition.

As in most quality horror movies, there is a subtext rooted in reality.

It Follows was a reminder of the potential deadly consequences of our casual sexual dalliances.

Trump is the poster child of 'moral licensing' - what happens when we don't hold anyone accountable for the backlash of racism and sexism 'that follows' when "we" elect an African-American, and "we" dare to nominate a woman to be president.
