Don’t let the “filmed on the phone” fool you into thinking it’s a cheap low budget short horror. They obviously had the money to make it look stunning. The writing and the story might be simple, but perfectly executed - exactly how horror movies should be.
Those That Follow tells a simple story of regret, guilt and fear - the past can literally haunt you. We are introduced to two characters that start with the same baggage, but as the plot progresses, take different paths to deal with it and face the consequences of their actions.
Realistically speaking, the strongest point of the movie were the visuals - it’s simply beautiful. Being an ad for a phone, they took all the steps to make sure the final product can wow any possible customers. Surprisingly, the fact it is an ad made the movie better, since it pushed the director to use a variety of different shots to show he all the capabilities of the camera.
Acting was good. It did feel like some reactions were exaggerated, but nothing that would distract you from what was happening on screen.
Overall, truly a great short horror movie. Simple, but effective.
