Leave your thoughts about Followed.
| Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerThis is also one of the few recent horror American horror film that makes smart use of an urban setting, and throws in a few true-crime references to boot. |
| RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsI’m still shocked that Followed is as funny as it is given that Mike is as obnoxious as you might expect given his very online, anything-for-the-lulz persona. He’s a cartoonishly loud, entitled millennial who never stops reminding us that he only cares about the sound of his own voice. He’s also sometimes unintentionally hysterical? |
| VarietyDennis HarveyAt nearly 100 minutes — way too many for material this flimsy — Followed even has time for a couple clumsily maudlin bits, not excluding brief yet awesomely trite address of “the homeless issue” in downtown L.A. A movie like this doesn’t need to have a social conscience. It ought to have worried first about having a brain, period. |
| User ReviewtropicAcesI would rather be strapped to a chair and forced to watch Jake Paul videos for 96 minutes than watch this nothingburger of a film again... waste of my afternoon. |
