It Follows
Directed by David Robert Mitchell
After Jay sleeps with her new boyfriend, she’s informed that an evil shape-shifting entity will now be pursuing her, slowly creeping closer until it can take her life. The only way to end this mysterious haunting is to pass it on to someone else through sex, but that presents an ethical dilemma, so Jay and her friends seek out another way to end the curse for good. David Robert Mitchell’s extraordinarily chilling exploration of the links between sex, death and terror vaulted into the modern horror hall-of-fame in 2014, aided by a killer synth soundtrack reminiscent of the great John Carpenter.
A teen is pursued by an evil entity after a hook-up in David Robert Mitchell’s modern horror classic.
Cast: Maika Monroe, Keir Gilchrist, Daniel Zovatto

The movie feels like a calm nightmare.
This is one of my favorite films of all time. It’s cinematically beautiful, has a great music score, is tense all the way through, and has so much depth. A story about loss of innocence and knowledge of our own mortality. Set in an unknown time.
It’s good. Helps that the stis quite beautiful
the tall man still gets me
I was very underwhelmed in the beginning but as the movie transgresses, you start noticing this nightmare like atmosphere in it. The time period seems unclear with elements of different years, Yara’s strange shell phone / Kinder, and everybody’s parents seem to be absent for most of the plot? If you pay close attention to details, you’ll realize how brilliantly written this movie is! I love searching analysis of movies like this one.
