Sex can be scary in the international trailer for It Follows

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

One of the movies on my radar for the last couple of months has been the David Robert Mitchell-directed horror movie IT FOLLOWS. It’s been playing the festivals for some time now and has had a really positive response. Our own Chris Bumbray called it "a tremendous horror flick and the scariest film [he’s] seen in years" in his TIFF review. It doesn’t have a theatrical release date yet but it is expected to hit sometime in 2015.

Here’s the synopsis:

After a strange sexual encounter, a teenager finds herself haunted by nightmarish visions and the inescapable sense that something is after her.

I think IT FOLLOWS might work for me the same way THE BABADOOK did; the less I know about it going in, the more I’ll enjoy it. THE BABADOOK was another indie-horror movie that has been getting a lot of attention; so let’s hope this is the beginning of a new wave of smaller horror movies keep on coming that make us think rather than try and make us jump or vomit.

Tell us what you think below and if you have another horror recommendation from 2014.
