Bad writing redeemed by charismatic actors.
I really like found footage movies, so I’ll add my usual caveat here: if you do not like found footage movies, this is a pass. Otherwise, soldier on!“Followed” breaks one of my cardinal rules of writing — the entire movie hinges on one of the characters being a moron. And not in the “Let’s go see what that noise was!” sense, but rather, this character has a long, intricate plan that is completely and utterly stupid. I can’t even think of an example outside of an “Airplane” movie of a plan so totally, inexplicably stupid. Perhaps the character was dropped on his head as a child, in which case they should probably have explained that in the film.
Normally, this would be the death knell for a film, but “Followed” redeems itself with three key factors. First and foremost is the actress who plays Rachel, Stefanie Butler. She is GORGEOUS — not just in a “homina homina” way, but her features and movement are so interesting that you just want to watch her. She also plays her character very close to the vest, and so a big part of watching the movie is puzzling out what is up with her. The screenplay kind of beats you over the head with “clues”, so it is a testament to her acting that the viewer is still curious about her.
The second redeeming quality of the film is the interpersonal drama that is layered on top of the “horror stuff”. Really, the main “plot” of the film (note the quotation marks) has nothing to do with the scary bits, and everything to do with the protagonist and his completely ordinary plans. Since the real “plot” is dumb, it’s good that this interpersonal drama is there to keep the viewer engaged.
The third redeeming quality of “Followed” is the use of incidental security camera footage inter-cut with the narrative footage as a device to build tension. It can occasionally be a little “Where’s Waldo”, but my nerves were effectively ratcheted up by the quick inter- cutting of parking lot or lobby footage. This footage, layered in with radio and TV broadcasts in the background of scenes, give the scares in “Followed” more oomph than, frankly, they deserve.
So, while the writing is dumb, for a found footage film, this one is fun to watch and has a couple of effective scares. And I can not say enough nice things about Stefanie Butler — she is really a joy to watch, and her performance is so measured that, even when the film is beating you about the face and neck with “hints”, she single-handedly maintains the suspense. And, yes, she is, like, freakishly beautiful.
Not bad, but not great
If you like found footage movies you might enjoy this one, otherwise I’d leave it alone. Basically it’s just a home movie, a pretty boring one too, for the first hour. Not until the last 20-25 minutes does the movie even have any action. If you can handle movies that end up not making much sense, go for it. But the ending doesn’t fit in with what was going on in the found footage.
