Joar. Auch wieder so ein Fall von sehr später Fortsetzung. Immerhin
wird
It Follows im nächsten Jahr auch schon 10
Jahre alt. Somit wird er ein neues Publikum ansprechen müssen. Ich
habe diesen 2018 gesehen und als zumindest solide in Erinnerung.
Aber nichts wovon es zwingend nen Nachfolger geben müsste. Aber
ehrlicherweise hatte ich mich schon damals gefragt warum
ausgerechnet von dem Film kein Sequel kam, wo es doch an sich Usus
in diesem Genre ist sofort mit einem Teil 2 zu beginnen. Naja
schauen wir mal in welche Richtung das Ganze gehen wird.
