It Follows is one of the scarier horror movies of the past decade. It has a rating of 95% on Rotten Tomatoes and is praised for not only having a well-paced story but also for impressive acting.
It Follows is a horror movie that tells the story of a girl pursued by an entity. This entity is passed on through intercourse. Once you catch it, it will follow you forever or until it catches you, unless you pass it on to someone else. Even then, if it catches the person to whom you passed it, it will return to you. This entity can appear as anyone, which means you’ll never know if someone is the entity or just another person.
One of the scariest things about It Follows is the last scene. This ending is so scary because it is ambiguous. Are the main characters truly safe? As they walk down the sidewalk, we see someone trailing behind them. Is it another person, or is it the entity? It Follows effectively uses the fear of the unknown.
It Follows has been confirmed to receive a sequel. They Follow is set to start filming in early 2025. For now, there is only speculation on the storyline and whether it will shed light on the uncertainty that marked the ending of the original film.
