Heralded American indie horror sees 19-year-old Jay (Maika Monroe) develop a highly unusual affliction after a sexual encounter with Hugh (Jake Weary). Jay’s date explains that she is now being pursued by a being that can take human shape, though remains invisible to the uninfected. Following her - one relentless step at a time - it won’t stop until it catches Jay or she passes the curse on to someone else.

A young, scantily-clad girl runs out of her suburban home into the street. She's terrified and panicking, desperately trying to escape from some unseen menace. It's a scenario familiar to anyone with a passing knowledge of the horror genre. But the framing, the elegant camera moves, and the chilly sense of distance immediately set It Follows apart from it its predecessors.

Starting off strong before losing its way in the end... stylish, suspenseful chille.

Recycles familiar teenage horror tropes - a girl alone in a house, evil forces banging on a door - but its mood is dreamy. Seldom do you feel manipulated by exploitative formulas.

A modern classic of fear to be compared to something by a young Carpenter or De Palma.

Mitchell's deft handling of relationships gets threaded into an ingenious and exceedingly skillful creepshow.

A smart, relentlessly chilling thriller that opts for originality over cheaply rejiggered jolts.

Canny manipulation of tone, atmosphere and tension makes this a satisfying little horror movie.
