A cleverly directed horror movie

Director: David Robert Mitchell

It Follows is a spare, unsettling horror movie which doesn’t quite convert its nightmarish atmosphere into genuine scares. 

It Follows - Official UK Trailer #2 (2015)

Written and directed by David Robert Mitchell it follows (so to speak) a lively young woman Jay (Maika Monroe) who is stalked by creepy figures unleashed after having sex with her boyfriend. 

It’s cleverly directed and there’s a strong sense of dislocation and dread in the vein of classic John Carpenter but not quite enough terror.
