Fast sell:

A genuinely scary thrill ride that will stay with you for days afterwards, featuring a stunning break-out performance from Maika Monroe, It Follows is a benchmark horror classic for a new generation of fright fans.

Synopsis:

It doesn’t think, it doesn’t feel, and it doesn’t give up!
After her dream date goes badly wrong, 19-year- old Jay discovers that a mysterious curse has been passed on to her.
She begins to experience terrifying visions and the feeling that she is being followed wherever she goes. Only she seems able to see these deadly pursuers, who walk slowly towards her with only one purpose – to kill.
Jay is in a race against time and must prove
to her friends that she is in deadly terror and convince them to help her combat the seemingly unstoppable ‘It’ before it gets her.

We like it because:

Since the post-Sundance 2014 screening buzz started to build, we’ve been dying to see It Follows, and when we finally did, it did not disappoint.
David Robert Mitchell’s brilliantly smart twist on the teen slasher film is that rare find – a horror film that is actually scary and wholly original.
Mitchell takes ingredients from classic horror films from the past – including Halloween, Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Rosemary’s Baby - and comes up with a classic all of his own, a frightening urban legend in a suburban setting that is wickedly simple and incredibly effective.
Add to the mix a stunning central performance from up-and-coming actress Maika Monroe – who is soon to become a household name in the big budget sci-fi thriller The 5th Wave – and a sensationally addictive soundtrack – and you have a film that grabs you from the opening scene and refuses to let go.
In the snowstorm of critical praise the film has reaped (95 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes), what’s easy to overlook is that It Follows is also a straight-ahead, teen-pleasing scare machine, with a built-in must-see-twice factor, borne out with the UK and US cinema releases of the film, where the film has proved a steadily-building multiplex hit.
As one critic rightly surmised, this is a ‘dream come true for horror fans’.
