And she stays in limbo/purgatory.




Could it possibly be that some people really enjoyed it, hence the excitement and praise. Just because you didn't like it, doesn't mean other's opinion and praise wasn't warranted. Besides, the rules are made clear at the start. The rules in It Follows weren't followed through in the actual movie. The rules in Talk To Me were following quite closely. You just have to pay attention. Maybe watch it again.




I really enjoyed the different take in this movie. And I think you're right about the spirit that kept coming back to Mia. I believe it's been said that the drowned woman who Mia let in was masquerading as her mother. At the end, the ghost of her mother most certainly resembled the drowning woman much more that her mother. I think Riley did conjure up her mother, though, but once Mia locked hands with Riley's, I think her mother went away and the weird old man who Mia's first possession claimed liked Riley took over. The one that didn't like Daniel. That's what I got from YouTube reactions. I also believe that the drowned woman was the ghost that was sucking on Daniel's foot. The ghost looked like the woman possibly from before being drowned. I could be wrong.




I think the supernatural elements don't always have to show themselves to others. If you're seeing the ghosts of the past, and it's after you've been in the movie Flatliners, I think it's safe to say it's supernatural.




I'm pretty sure the person you've replying to didn't like Talk To Me but did like It Follows.





Exactly. Most who didn't like this movie seem to think teens rely on logic instead of impulses. I mean, who here has done something stupid as a teen that you don't think is rational nor logical as an adult? People take these story structures regarding certain characters and add their own logic into the movie and that just doesn't work. I understand not liking the decisions of the teens and the mom in this movie, but that is the point. Much like Halloween Ends, people hated that movie for irritating reasons, too. I keep going back to real life situations. No one makes logical decisions 100% of the time.




I watched a YouTube video reviewing and explaining the movie. I might want to see if I can find it again. I really don't like It Follows, but I want to understand it.





Another person who didn't pay attention to the movie. Jade, Mia's friend, had big reservations about it. But go on thinking that your logic makes sense in every situation, and that teenagers wouldn't try to get possessed by a ghost for fun. If a person will take meth, a person would definitely be willing to be possessed. Hence the fact that Ouija boards exist.

I absolutely love this movie. And having seen RackaRacka skits here on YouTube years ago makes me think that most comedy acts have the mind to make very good, very disturbing horror. I guess that's why I love Halloween Ends and Nope so much. Those directors can take horror and comedy and make something quite good.

Meh. The movie sucks. Done.
