good. Fuck the origins for IT.

There was a 4 hour documentary on it a few decades ago.

Vulture: I talked to you at your Cannes premiere last year, and you said that you have some ideas for where the story could go if it becomes a franchise. I would have to think, based on how well the movie is doing, that maybe there have been tentative discussions about exactly that. Can you say anything about it?

Mitchell: It seems like the response has been very strong at this point, but any specifics [about sequels] — that, I couldn't say. I have a lot of different kinds of projects in many different genres, so I don't know that a sequel would be the next thing that I would do, but I'm certainly open to it. I just kinda want to see how things play out. But I do want to say that when I wrote this, I had some bigger setpieces, a few things that I sort of simplified, and some stuff that we chose to cut out because of the budget and time, so there's all kinds of fun things that could be done with this concept and story.

I'm happy to see he changed is mind. I doubt anything could be added that would enhance this world, and I'd hate to see it turn into another Paranormal Activity franchise.

Yup! As CharlieK said, that scene was devastating because within Jay as a character, the desperation levels were getting ridiculously high (more than they already had been).

I definitely wouldn't want a sequel to this.

Saw it, really enjoyed it. Random things I wondered about...



I actually had this same thought...

I would love to go to a Q&A with the filmmakers and ask this.

DeputyDave

I wondered that as well but

Good flick

Music in it was awesomesauce

Just saw it this morning at a $5 matinee, which was basically a private screening as I was the only one there.

Loved it.

Just a stellar creepy vibe all the way through without having to rely on lame CGI effects all over the place. As others have said Monroe was excellent, but I liked that her and the rest of the cast acted/responded/spoke (99.9% of the time) like people their age, and I never felt I was watching 30 year olds trying to play "young".

Plus, the score was Carpenter-tastic...

Thinking about seeing it again tomorrow.

Can't remember if there was no sound, but worth noting that they were all movies in the public domain, for budget constraints. Charade being the most telling example.

CharlieK

For me, those movies just added to the unstuck in time feeling of the whole movie.

Solid Snake

Those movies had sound on.

CloverClover

So amazing. Classic horror film. You are kidding yourselves re: sequel, there will probably be many.

Pointyskull

Really?
When I saw it none of the old black-and-white movies had any sound.
That struck me as really weird.

Solid Snake

I remember sound on at least one movie. Dunno if it belong to that movie but there was sound.

Man, I love this film. It just feel real. Like real people talking.

Defiant1

Really liked this movie. The 80-90s look to it made it even creepier for some reason. Some mixed feelings about the ending though. Can an ending be too ambiguous?

Mr. Flix

Just saw it. Loved it. Want the soundtrack.

@Pointyskull: there was definitely sound during the B&W movies being watched.

While there is some ambiguity in parts, here's my take:



A couple of my own questions...



My only disappointment...

Pfft. Do it right and get the Vinyl:



Mostly because it's as time confusing as the rest of the movie

Mr. Flix

Wow, thank you! I just assumed this was low-budget enough not to warrant a soundtrack release.

CharlieK

The director is currently doing an AMA over on Reddit:

I suppose I can irritate him instead of you guys for a while then .

onebyone

Thank you! I too assumed it was too low budget to have a score, and was very sad about it because it was amazing.

Great movie. Still working out what I think it all meant, but nice to have a horror movie not beat you over the head with everything. Loved the lead actress, hope to see her in lots more projects.

Hazel Motes

Really good movie. AMAZING score.

Julie Walker

I saw this last week and really enjoyed it. It was stylish, creepy and well done, and really unique.

The theatrical experience was memorable though, since the theater played the wrong movie at first! We sat through tons of trailers for Disney films both animated and live action and we all were wondering if we were in the right theater. Then the new Frozen short movie came on, and we saw about half of that, before the theater solved the problem and switched movies! They were about to show Cinderella, which was supposed to be playing in the auditorium across the hall from us. And I have to laugh, wondering if they were showing It Follows in that auditorium on accident, and what the families would think, since I can only imagine what trailers would air before the film. The plus side about this mistake, was we all got free tickets out of the deal. So it was win win all around.
