It Follows
Directed by David Robert Mitchell1h 41m2014
A young woman is followed by an unknown supernatural force after a sexual encounter.
Our read: It Follows (2014) reads as a sombre, steady, inventive horror entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
Sombre, steady, measured horror, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold.
