There is little flashy about It Follows, writer/director David Robert Mitchell’s magnificent follow-up to his award-winning The Myth of the American Sleepover. That someone is Jay, and now it is her turn to be followed.

He’s been running from something, a fantastical force that’s been following him, slowly, methodically, step-by-step, without stopping, ever since he slept with a random woman sometime back during a one night stand. So much so she doesn’t think twice before laying down with him in the backseat of his car, bubbling over in contented satisfaction, daydreaming what their life together might look like after their canoodling has come to a climax.
