The ending remains ambiguous and hints at two things.

Despite having passed on the curse to Paul, who passes it on to a prostitute (as it is hinted), the movie ends with the entity still lurking around, following the couple from a distance. But the ending breaks away from the narrative of horror it builds through-out the movie. The climax of ‘It Follows’ has the team trying to electrocute the entity in a swimming pool, only to eventually fail, which I think was an interesting choice made by the director. ‘It Follows’ makes this bunch of youngsters experience their fear of mortality. Doesn’t it sound like our most terrifying fears that we run away from only to find that they always manage to catch up with us? Yeah, that was pretty much the intention Mitchell had with the film. You can, of course, run away from it, but you cannot escape it as it will catch up with you. It doesn’t chase you or run after you, it just walks. What makes ‘It Follows’ truly agonizing though, is that it is a constant slow burn, with “It”, taking the form of anybody and everybody, someone you know or love or a complete stranger, and following you consistently. Together, they try to protect her, finding ways to escape the inescapable.
Eventually, Jay seeks help from her sister Kelly, and her friends, Paul, Yara and Greg.
She then begins to get followed by the entity, in its different forms, that only she can see. It is revealed that for Jay to get rid of the entity, she will need to pass on the curse and sleep with someone else. Sounds like a supernatural physical manifestation of AIDS? It could be one, but it also so much more. It actually still works like one, but is of course, truly horrifying, as Jay learns that she will be followed by a supernatural entity that Hugh passed on to her when they had intercourse, and that it will eventually kill her. Now, without the horror element and all the deaths, the movie could have potentially been a coming-of-age film. ‘ It Follows‘ centres around Jay, a young girl whose life turns upside down after she has sex with her boyfriend, Hugh, for the first time. We will discuss all that we know about a potential sequel in a later segment, but for now lets go back to the terrorizing original that started it all. A great news for us horror-buffs is that though films like these do not happen so often, both Mitchell, and distributors, Radius-TWC, have revealed that they have been working on a follow up. The brilliance of ‘It Follows’ lies in the fact that it explores growing up and the fears associated with it, and banks on the paranoia it creates. David Robert Mitchell’s nightmarish and unnerving brain-child, ‘ It Follows‘, is one of those rare and brilliant gems.ĭespite the movie’s limited release, it earned widespread acclaim, with several critics claiming it the best horror movie they have watched in years, also giving it a whopping 96% on Rotten Tomatoes. These are not just incredible horror films, but incredible films in general, each one of it fresh and unique, offering its viewers something that they have never witnessed before.
