Follower represents progress in the depiction of women in slasher films.
On the surface, it's a well-made independent horror film; however, its beauty lays beneath the surface that beauty is showing strong female characters that band together to fight evil instead of being pawns that get murdered.

A breath of fresh air in the horror genre
ive seen worse...but not by much
First off the audio is atrocious i think its meant to inspire tension but it comes off as just annoying and overly loud. The acting is okay . Not great , not horrible . In the beginning there is a comment about it being interactive , but there's nothing else about it mentioned . Did they forget to put it in ? There is only the barest of character development. Not worth wasting time watching .
I mean...
I thought it was really sick-
the making of the real-life Instagram/social media accounts is really interesting and I think a lot of movies will start doing that in the near future, to be honest....
It also reminded me a lot of the Gaby Petito & Crystal Turner/Kylen Schulte disappearance/murder cases- so watch if you're into true crime!
Anyway- Nice to actually be pleasantly surprised after draining all of what streaming platforms had to offer over quarantine. I can't tell you how many movies I've bailed on in the first 20 minutes, and I thought it was a good one!
