Teeming with eerie, ethereal synth music, dark psycho - sexual themes, and references to 1980s horror classics amid a dreary, timeless Detroit landscape, It
Follows is a refreshingly subtle, practically gore-less
film that at first appears to be a
sort of combination
of last year's terrifying «Under the Skin» and the graphic novel «Black Hole» by Charles Burns.
Several theories about the
film's origins
of myth are thrown out: it
follows Joseph Campbell's hero cycle (not really) and it
follows Dante's Inferno (

of the Christ myth.
Dixon is a thug and a dullard — he has comic books scattered about his desk like some

of a window
following Willoughby's suicide at the
film's midway point.
Rounding out the platter: a «Hong Kong Beauty Stars» animated picture gallery scored with the same
sort of abhorrent techno - crap that plagues the

followed by perfunctory cast and crew biographies.
Oscar, in preparing for a night out on New Year's Eve, manages to run into every important figure in his life and history over the course

Unmade Beds — This
film by Alexis Dos Santos comes dangerously close to obnoxiousness,

It's a (
sort of) clever gag since Mr. Ayoade is doing just that during the

of the type
of comedy to

films of the 1970s, «Sanctum»

film, one

films are some
of Trecartin's least reliant on any
sort of narrative, and can be difficult at times to
follow, they are no less compelling.
