After a sexual encounter, nineteen-year-old Jay (Maika Monroe) is told she is now being followed by something — a shifting, relentless supernatural entity that only she can see, and that will kill her unless she passes it on. David Robert Mitchell's atmospheric, Midwest-set horror film operates as both a genuinely terrifying supernatural thriller and a meditation on mortality, youth, and the anxiety of growing up. Accompanied by Rich Vreeland's pulsing, John Carpenter-influenced electronic score, It Follows is one of the most formally assured and original American horror films in decades.
