Listen, I unapologetically love Lifetime garbage movies. My sister and I used to watch them after school and laugh at how nuts they were. I have to say though, the twist in this one genuinely got me! I was not expecting it at all which is pretty rare for a Lifetime flick.

It's too bad that Cassidy Rae left acting because she was really good in this and would've had a great career. The drama is fun and Vincent Irizarry is perfect as manipulative sleazebag Derek. The acting and suspense were good enough that at times it didn't even feel like a straight-to-tv movie. The drama was super fun and worth a lazy Sunday watch.

It's hard to find a genuinely good indie film sometimes, but Follow Her was a great time. Incredibly well-acted by both leads, and is perfectly tailored for the millennials and gen zs.

Takes some crazy twists and the ending is nuts.

Makes some good points about personal privacy in the Information Age where everyone is filmed at all times and people live their lives for the likes.

Creepy and suspenseful and at times incredibly funny.

Honestly I would've paid to see this in theatres it was way higher in quality than typical indie films. The ending was ambiguous which is my favourite kind of ending. WATCH IT.

It's really too bad when a movie takes a great book and turns it into a joke. My Best Friends Exorcism (the book) was super fun, and genuinely scary in some scenes, but they changed they made to the movie all but ruined it. The only good thing was that Gretchen was well cast and well-acted.

I don't know what it is with Hollywood using sexuality as a plot point. They didn't need to make Glee a lesbian so they could mock her and use slurs, that's just lazy writing and completely offensive. So much of the actual horror of the story was made into a joke. I only wish I could go back in time and not watch this so I could have just the book in my head.
