To me "Follow Her" was a remarkable surprise. The first five minutes is what you have to get through to take you to what I thought was a pretty masterful web of twists and turns.
My partner wanted to switch it off after those first five minutes purely because it looked to be one of those films that you had to read through as dialogue was limited to text messages and emojis, however when you watch the journey our protagonist takes to meet the handsome Tom Brady played by the impressive Luke Cook the whole film takes a huge turn and has you guessing all the way to the finale.
The script is cleverly written and they include jump scares that really aren't every now and then to keep you on your toes. The twist at the end if well thought out making Follow Her a film I'd happily recommend to anyone wanting a different type of thriller than the norm.
With Follow Her, what you expect to happen won't and that's what keeps you hooked from the moment our two main stars meet in the middle of nowhere. The performances of Luke Cook and Dani Barker suggest we should, and hopefully will, be seeing plenty of more of them over the future.
Follow Her is a pretty cool thriller to be frank. Not like Fatal Attraction or similar but cool enough to watch. You have the main female protagonist who's trying to get going as an actress, she applies for something she finds in the small-ads and you get a bitter and twisted guy playing a game of revenge.
Some neat jumpy bits mixed with a few twists give Follow Her a sexiness that makes it very watchable, especially on a Friday or Saturday night with an above average bottle of wine.
Yes, Follow Her doesn't have the all-star cast, nor does it rain with a mass budget but everything is well made and the storyline works well with its simplicity. You might laugh at the predictability but I think that's the point with these films that go straight from the cutting floor to the TV programming schedule.
As a thirty-something female I enjoyed it. I wouldn't go out looking to watch Follow Her again but if it were on TV in a few months I can confidently say I'd be happy to leave it on.
Follow Her is a cool and sexy thriller that won't take many of your brain cells to watch but will leave you happy you haven't wasted the last hour and a half. Believe me there are lots worse out there and you shouldn't be disappointed by this Sylvia Caminer directed twisted thriller.
Have you seen these?
