Review of Followed

Followed (I) (2015)
5/10
Just as you start to lose patience, there's a clever payoff
19 May 2021
I actually enjoyed this movie. Filmed as a home movie, it follows a young couple, David and Rachel, as they take a road trip from Chicago to Las Vegas. Along the way, David, who plans to propose to Rachel, begins to worry more and more that they're being followed, and that Rachel is the intended victim of a relentless stalker.

There's some wonderful scenery as they travel, including the Grand Canyon, and all the actors are quite natural and believable. Though there's not much action, there is some real suspense, and the couple is likable and you are drawn in to caring what happens to them.

However, just as the movie begins to seem as if it's endlessly spinning its wheels, and you wonder if anything's ever going to happen, there's a clever, surprise twist that, I think, most viewers won't see coming. There's also a little epilog that finally reveals that one missing piece of crucial information we needed all along.
