Today, we’re here to watch a movie and it is called “It Follows”. We’re going to
discuss how it was solved the problem in a movie. Additionally, all of us have a reaction
while watching this movie.

The problems that have been shown in the movie we have watched was how the main
female character was able to defeat her 'curse' by using a different strategy each and every
time it tried to kill her. Basically, there is this entity that follows her and will eventually kill if
it gets to touch her. The entity has a different appearance every time it appears to the person,
and they are only able to see it (the people who do not have the curse cannot see it but can
affect its invisible body), and the person who had been followed by the entity can only get
away from it by passing on the entity to someone else, which is the reason why the
protagonist was always running. But if they pass it onto someone and that other person dies,
it comes back for the original owner. The protagonist went through a lot of suffering because
she was not able to get rid of the entity permanently, which led to many sleepless nights for
her and paranoia. The solution was that the protagonist had to get creative in getting rid of the
entity along with her friends. They went to an indoor pool, with the thinking that the entity
would go into the pool and they will electrocute it by bringing electronics that had power on.
Unfortunately, for them, the entity saw through this and threw those heavy electronic objects
on top of the protagonist, which led to some scuffle but her friend managed to shoot it and it
died, leaving the protagonist to be finally relieved from the curse.

The problem-resolution method they used is that the protagonist and her friends tried
to outwit the curse, and they it did work. Since this was a horror movie, they did make a lot
of mistakes that could have been easily avoided but it would not be a movie if there were not
some kind of mistakes that make you think that the protagonist is incapable of doing
anything.
“Reaction to the movie - Conde”
In my opinion, I quite honestly liked this new horror concept they did for this movie,
A curse that gets passed through sexual intercourse wherein an invisible entity that only you
could see will be following you around until it gets you and kills you. It’s quite a unique take
on the horror genre, it’s very creative how they have thought of that. My reaction to the
movie is not what most people expect when one is watching. I wasn’t really scared at all
when watching the movie, all I could say is that the protagonist is somewhat stupid for
getting near the incident where the entity is close at, like, are you getting yourself killed?
That is exactly why I laugh at some of the scenes at times. Overall it’s a good movie that has
a good problem that could be solved with just the right things needed.

Reaction to this film, to be honest, I like horror movies so I watched this with my
brother. It gave us chill vibes this curse system or concept was not rare to me but I rate this
one of the best curse horror that I have watched recently because somehow I loved how the
individuals had to think critically outside the box to fight and tried to outsmart it. The ending
left me with so many questions and the same as my brother, which was creepy, but also cool
enough. Definitely a movie that makes you think. In addition to my reaction because this is a
‘HORROR’ film it is impossible to not scared/ terrifying to the core. The curse was
relentless, and the characters' solutions were intriguing. In addition, teamwork and creativity
were impressive for the characters it self the psychological element was intense, and the
ambiguous ending was haunting. A horror film that lingers in your thoughts. The ending was
so mysterious - you're left wondering what happens next. This movie really plays with your
mind. It was terrifying. The curse is relentless! The characters' teamwork and creativity were
impressive.

“Reaction to the movie - Aquino”

Well, the movie is not that bad. The story flows pretty well including the plot twists
and also it gives me a little thinking about why people keep following the main protagonist,
which is the girl. And then the ending is something like there is a part 2 because the guy
behind the boy and girl while holding their hands, chasing them so I was thinking like there is
something that could be worse than they did kill a man on the pool. That is my own thinking
and also it is an opinion. At the rest of the movie, it is enjoyable. I love the flow of the movie,
and also I love the angle shots.
