It took me long enough to see Under The Silver Lake, David Robert Mitchell's follow up to It Follows but it was worth the wait. Even with the two & a half hour run time this film has such a fast pace. It dissects plenty of hipster culture, has plenty of film nods & a great musical history. Seeing the various underground art shows/musical festivals really hit home and the total love of Alfred Hitchcock, both in references such as posters, ways actors are positioned(ala Rear Window) and just the overall tone is enough to make a cinephile squirt. On top of Hitchcock it has plenty of film noir love too, with alot of love to horror as well, including some fine gore. This actually feels like it could have been a Shane Black film had the script had a few tweaks in tone. The film has a great cast, great music(score goes to Disasterpiece yet again) and the right amount of weirdness. This truly feels like cult cinema!
