IT FOLLOWS (2014) Movie Reaction | *First Time Watching*

AND THAT’S A FACT

Only facts

[@Puggapillar]

damn thank you 🥹

[@HammishHoss]

7:54 lmao the old stubby lad in the back creepin

[@arielross749]

17:08 That is still the best yet underrated jumpscare I have seen in a while.

[@bullymaguire921]

20:20

[@MS.Marie82]

6:30 (An excerpt) The shell phone is not a real thing. According to Mitchell (in the Yahoo interview), the sea shell smartphone/e-reader was made up for the movie to keep things feeling “like a dream or something outside of time”.

[@ChefK4y]

My interpretation of the movie is that it's supposed to feel like an era-less nightmare which is why the characters feel so weird and lifeless and its impossible to pinpoint a specific era that they are in. A lot of people theorize that the kids have been transported to some nightmare version of where they live, which is why its so grey and empty and there are no parents around any of the characters besides the girl in the beginning, with her concerned father. To me, the world and characters feel very uncanny which gives me such a weird feeling of anxiety. I love this movie and it deserves so much more recognition!

[@KwameSteward]

like a dream...interesting

[@robertyeah2259]

i like this interpretation a lot. but it’s also possible that a lot of the dream like setting is a side effect of being set and filmed in lower-middle class Detroit. At least as far as the somber emptiness of the setting. But the acting does seem intentionally stilted and strange.

[@ChefK4y]

@@robertyeah2259 That's possible! I will say, I went to school in Detroit, and even in the lower-income areas, despite it not being as populated, it still held some form of life, like people sitting on their porch talking, people riding bikes, people walking and waiting for the bus. But how they convey Detroit in this world just felt so... empty. As if people aren't really /meant/ to be there. And to add to that nightmarish feeling, you literally can't tell what year it is. Like the weird shell phone seems more futuristic, but the house the MC lives in is very 80s, and the neighbor guy across the street is very 90s. And when the two sisters are walking in the beginning, one is dressed in a winter coat and boots and the other is wearing a flannel and shorts. You can't even tell what season it is. It feels so chaotic but very on purpose, if that makes sense. Sorry for such a long message, I love talking about this stuff with others. :)

[@jeralyn-t7b]

Director said it was inspired by a dream of his, supposed to feel “dreamy” and “fuzzy” which it does a great job of :)

[@cookieguygaming]

One of them rare movies that wasn’t swallowed by Hollywood and given sequels and ridiculous plot points. Frickin great movie

[@HoundsBane]

Even though I heard years ago that the director had a prequel in mind, I tend to agree with you.

[@levischorpioen]

This comment aged terribly.

[@MontysGatorGulf]

Well, it’s confirmed there will be a sequel in the making next year

[@blueturret5596]

I was lucky enough to be able to watch this movie for the first time in a theater all to myself. Truly an unforgettable experience. Although admittedly, this movie made me extremely paranoid for a few days afterwards. I was constantly looking over my shoulder to make sure there wasn’t anyone silently following me. 😂

[@danwilliams2551]

This movie is a nightmare coming of age tale about realizing you are going to die. There's a couple speeches like them looking at the kid in the theatre "How cool would it be to have your whole life ahead of you again" and the teacher and the girl on her e-reader at the hospital are discussing facing down death. Once the realization fully drops in your life, it will never go away. It's always approaching, and that fact begins to taint everything you enjoy - the movie is filled with her doing things she used to do as a kid, but she finds no joy in them anymore, too anxious about what's coming. You can push it away with the act that has the fullest amount of life energy - sex - but it's a temporary high. It can be close, it can be far, but it's always coming. Even after the pool scene, she props a chair against a door because the fear is always there and she must now learn how to live life carrying that weight. The last line of the movie is "The worst thing is that it is CERTAIN."

[@meesh11p]

I will say to the lead actress feeling stunted - I think it's intentional and a directorial choice. She is fantastic in other films such as Watcher - this is one of her early roles too.

[@90bubbel60]

yeah this is one of the horror movies that actually make me really anxious. the monster may be slow but it never stops, there is something so incredibly stressfull about it. kinda reminds me of when you were younger and doing cod zombies on higher rounds, No jumpscares just a constant sense of tension and stress.

[@Imagination_Station2224]

Thank you so much for doing a reaction to this movie! I feel it doesn’t get nearly enough praise. They made such a simple idea so absolutely terrifying thanks to beautiful cinematography and a dread inducing score.

[@MS.Marie82]

17:12 Pugg closing the door for protection is like me as a kid pulling the blanket over my head thinking I'm safe. 🤣🤣🤣!!!

[@nongfxckthong]

IT FOLLOWS IT'S SO COOOL I'm so happy I Watch this at Cinema (Re-Release) in 4 Years ago. You Can Imagine when i listen the SOUNDTRACK in Cinema.

[@coollongbottomsgaming6347]

I really like this movie because it’s not some giant monster, just random people following you

[@filmfangirls9163]

I love Mika Monroe. She's one of my favorite modern Scream Queens. And her boyfriend is Joe Keery! She is living her best life lol

[@legaultrants]

The battery at the end! That's hilarious. Perfect timing.

[@ProfessorNilo]

It Follows is a such an interesting movie, tons of little things you can miss at a first time watching... so much stuff in the background and the music is fantastic. As a movie it doesn't follow (haha funny joke) a conventional narrative. No real conclusion, no real downtime for the tension to go away... it's a constant state of paranoia and hopelessness, we never learn anything aside from what we got at the beginning and all attemps to defeat this entity ultimately amount to nothing. It's a very interesting direction for a movie to take. Really enjoyed your reaction too... I'm not sure how often people tell you that, but you just have a certain natural charm to yourself that makes you very likable and entertaining to watch.

[@TheRealMouseMan]

Isnt Gargamel from the smurfs. Not the muppets😂

[@Puggapillar]

oh

[@JoyaLewisTheMusician]

The editing makes this even funnier 😂😂😂

[@Puggapillar]

Thank you! I pride myself on the edits I make!

[@lun4red1tz]

Alex, you almost killed me. I laughed so hard I choked on air, thank you >.

[@hayles023]

This movie really did mess with me haha. I am so happy that you finally watched it haha

[@sincerelynessaa]

you made me laugh out so loud

[@Willvorine]

Just wanted to say thanks. Watching your channel helps me break away from life's problems. Your reactions are so funny. 🤟 Keep them coming dude 😊

[@rumham7466]

The director really did so many seemingly “little” things to make the atmosphere uncomfortable. To the point where you can’t exactly place why you feel ‘off’. Like one instance it seems to be summer or warm weather, and the next the leaves down and it looks cold. How in the houses there’s old things, so it seems from decades past, but then there’s a stainless steel recent fridge. And then the seashell device the girl has that can’t be places anywhere because it doesn’t exist. And more. These subtle things that you don’t consciously notice are there to make you feel uneasy subconsciously. I know it worked for me! The plot of the story on paper seems mundane. But the movie creeped me out so much. It left me with that creepy eerie feeling the whole night after watching it. There’s an article that explains it better but the things they did sure worked.

[@levischorpioen]

Really shows how intention is key. In any other film, it’d be ridiculed for being “inconsistent”.

[@rumham7466]

@@levischorpioen so true

[@Bunchofbrads]

Still the best reaction channel so cool seeing how much your channel has grown since you watched fear street

God those movies were so good

[@narotic6133]

Movie has good symbolism , always liked this one

[@TopsyTriceratops]

That was one epic cat reveal, in the distance too. And sweet tech, I'm jealous! Whoever sent this one in, thanks. This movie has an epic soundtrack, and arguably a terrifying premise.

[@jeralyn-t7b]

Hey PUGGA!!! This is my favorite movie of all time. Pure cinematography 💕

[@MS.Marie82]

24:24 It's such a simple scare. It is just walking amongst the friends unseen and it's so effective. Creepy!

[@cky2kdunn]

One of my favourite movies ever and the soundtrack is insanely amazing for this film. I had to buy the limited edition vinyl when it came out.

[@Colby_Purrins801]

Had me laughing SO HARD!!! Incredible reaction! 🤘🏻 Love this movie so much.

[@Puggapillar]

You're welcome! Thank you so much!!

[@MS.Marie82]

17:06 The first time I saw this movie I couldn't get over the creepy tall dude. He gave me goosebumps.

[@MS.Marie82]

8:23 I love how the camera shots in this movie. There's just something about it. Dream like I guess. 😌

[@BigGroovyFunker66]

The Guest is a crackin' film to double-bill with this one.

[@tree1568]

Jump scare 20:21 scared the crap outta me

[@CrownlessKing88]

Yeah the soundtrack to this is everything! Disasterpeace is the one who did the music. He clearly has also done music for video games.

[@humbleddee_]

I love reacting to movies with the best youtuber😄 Alex's reactions is hilarious😂😂 Finally, I can get my mind off of things from reality. Thx

6:41 Water droplets got her

[@user-hc2tu7ul7j]

A lot of people miss the photo of Jay’s dad when she’s getting ready for her date. Later on, he’s the manifestation she sees in the pool scene.

[@marcopony88]

I rewatched the video now that they announced that there will be a sequel. "They Follows" will gonna arrive at some point in 2024.

[@rainingmadness129]

Fun reaction Pugg. I think the director deliberately had the lead, Maika Monroe, act so lowkey. I have seen her in another movie that I had YMM react to called The Guest, which funny enough released in the same year as It Follows, and in that she had tons more personality in it. I think the reason for the lowkey, subtle reaction to her situation was to help maintain the calm and dreading tone of the film. Which is probably why everything else also feels so muted. Great work dude! If you want another slow burn movie with some moments of violence at the level of Terrifier, you should check out Bone Tomahawk. Has Kurt Russell from The Thing and Patrick Wilson from Insidious and The Conjuring in it.

[@asdfasdf7199]

pretty easy to min/max this scenario. drive 10 hours away, then buy a ticket to thailand, rawdog a pro. by the time the entity walks across the pacific ocean, the chain will be thousands of people beyond you, will never catch up in your lifetime.

[@momakesvids5704]

jay does a great job portraying a victim of r*pe which is what this movie is a metaphor for. she would likely not be breaking down doors like you want her to because she’s traumatized

[@viperpoof]

Mike Lanier(the really tall guy at 17:07) unfortunately passed away of Cancer he was 7 ft 7 in nicknamed The gentle giant being in the Guinness world record for the tallest twins in the world he was only 48

I watched this the first day it came out. The next day someone appeared to be staring at me in park and started walking towards me. Seriously freaked me out!

Fun fact, the form it takes at the end at the pool is actually her dad.

[@ethanburns4786]

The camera battery has better comedic timing than Alex

[@Puggapillar]

Absolutely right

[@twinpeakso_o]

If you liked this pug you should check out the directors other movie Under The Silverlake such a great movie but it's rather lengthy so have to be in the right mood. Anyway loved the reaction when you closed the door it killed me 😂 can't wait for the next piece brother

You almost sold me Logitech, even though I don't have any use for a new keyboard or camera. Speaking of the camera, you look more Puggapillar than using the laptop's webcam. I still feel 'eh' about the movie; it's like watching a KZbin horror film. Milo! You always know when to make your entrance

[@EJsEyeD]

Omg, not gonna lie. The Logitech thank you was great. I have logitech everything at my setup and it’s my dream to be sponsored by them or something in the future. I have the same keyboard, headphones along with three mice from them. I love them all and I even have the gaming earbuds from them. If anyone is considering pc products like keyboards and a mouse and headphones, logitech is your best bet ! And for gaming they are amazing as well no doubt! Loved the reaction as well! Keep them coming ! My recommendation is the rob zombie Halloween series 👀

The point of the ending was for it to be left ambiguous.Did he sleep with the hookers or not is never answered.So at the end it could be a normal person or be the monster.I think its supposed to be a message of after going through something like an STD you're never the same.Or I could be very wrong🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️
