0:31.6	Thank you. Welcome to Tales to Terrify. To Terrify. Good evening, children of the night. Come on into the cabin. It's been foggy and rainy around here, these parts, but that's part of our spring, isn't it?
1:02.4	It follows, came on my radar from a review by Mark Fraunfelder at Boing Boing. The horror genre is represented poorly on the silver screen. Most movies are
1:12.6	campy, terribly directed, or have a plot so full of holes you can drain your spaghetti with it.
1:18.3	It follows, does maintain some of the traditions that seem to plague the campy films, such as a
1:24.0	terrorized teenager who is being assaulted in her home, fleeing upstairs instead of outside.
1:29.9	The actual mechanics and rules that the antagonist follows is so opaque to the viewer that is hard to find holes with it.
1:36.7	A mysterious, mellivant force that follows a cursed person until they are caught and then kills them.
1:43.0	Where it came from or where it began is not explored in the film and is not relevant to the plot.
1:48.9	It does remind me of a couple of my favorite horror films, The Ring and The Thing.
1:54.8	The idea of a person who has some sort of curse that endangers all of those around them has an appeal to me. Of course, and the

2:07.4	of protecting themselves by passing the buck onto someone else. Shoot locations, literary
2:13.1	inclusions, and plot indirect dialogue all contribute to the central theme illustrated best in another
2:18.4	story by Captain Hook's crocodile, which symbolizes the inevitability of aging and death.
2:24.8	Freudian ideals of libido are crystallized into, the obvious face of the word libido, sex.
2:31.8	The movie has a depth to it that you can skip over, but is quite present and quite deliberate.
2:38.0	I'd very much recommend this movie.
2:40.0	Not directly related to this film, but instead to the viewing of it.
