Join us Tuesday, March 31 at 8:00pm at Sundance Cinemas for the critically acclaimed new horror film, IT FOLLOWS, directed by David Robert Mitchell. Young Jay (Maika Monroe) can’t seem to shake the feeling that someone, or something, is following her.
After the screening, we will walk over to the back of The Great Dane-Hilldale for an informal post-screening discussion.
Join Madison Film Forum contributors James Kreul and Jake Smith at the screening. With the Madfilm Meetups, the Madison Film Forum provides opportunities to attend great films and meet people doing the same. We don’t sponsor these screenings, we just support them by showing up.
LEVIATHAN has had a positive response from film critics, earning a 94% Tomatometer Rating at Rotten Tomatoes. You can find a collection of reviews at our Flipboard Magazine.
Review highlights include:
“It Follows pretty much earns its buzz as the scariest and best-engineered American horror movie of recent years, and that’s all down to Mitchell’s sophisticated understanding of technique and the trust and freedom he accords his youthful cast.” Andrew O’Hehir, Salon
“It’s an undeniable triumph of mood – perfect for anyone who wants to practice clenching their fists for nearly 100 straight minutes – as well as an ambitious effort at reinventing horror by eschewing the genre’s common tricks.” Inkoo Kang, The Wrap
“My whole life I’ve been a horror-movie freak, and I’ve rarely been as scared as I was at It Follows. But it wasn’t a fun kind of scare. It was the so-upset-I-feel-sick kind of amorphous dread.” David Edelstein, New York Magazine
Written and directed by David Robert Mitchell, It Follows is the latest in a long line of sex-as-horror flicks that somehow grounds its terror both in reality and in the otherworldly, making this a smart and thought-provoking movie. Hazel Cills, Grantland
