Jon and James Kondelik are finishing production on Behind the Walls. This horror film looks through the eyes of a different sort of character, a malicious home. The first poster for the film has been released, along with several stills; fans of independent horror can find the graphics here. As well, the film stars: Vanessa Angel (“Weird Science”), Hutch Dano (Zombeavers), Reggie Lee (NBC’s “Grimm”), Lew Temple (AMC’s “The Walking Dead”) and Bailey Spry (It Follows). A preview of the film's terror is hosted here. From the logline, an evil abode is waiting for a new family to arrive. When they turn up, this haunted house will not let them leave, ever! Director Jon Kondelik has something to say about the haunted house sub-genre. Kondelik says: "we aim to put a new spin on a familiar genre." Behind the Walls will offer surprises. Kondelik goes on to say...

Horror is at its most affective when it takes real world situations and inserts the strange and unnatural into them. When that subtle little oddity stands out to the camera, suddenly nothing is safe and everything can be a danger. This is exactly why It Follows is one of the best horrors you’ll see this year.
When Jay (Maika Monroe) goes out on a date, everything seems fine until she finds herself tied to a chair and unable to move. As he tells her of a creature that is going to start following her, at first she doesn’t believe him, until she starts to notice its presence everywhere she goes. Often somebody she knows, or somebody odd enough to stand...

When leaving It Follows, you will not know exactly when it was set, but you'll realize where it is: John Carpenter's backyard.
This article contains mild It Follows spoilers.
From the opening frame of It Follows, you know exactly where you are. Wide, listless shots of a quiet suburban neighborhood populated by frantic teens and oblivious parents. Even if viewers can't yet see the film’s unnamed boogeyman, this unspoken It, they can feel its labored, deliberate, and ceaseless shuffle, marching a helpless victim (Bailey Spry) towards oblivion. All that’s missing in the panoramic 360-degree shot is a night-lit rainfall and a windswept castle. But perhaps, that is why this is so much more effective.
A fun exercise moviegoers will have after leaving It Follows’ dreamlike grasp—besides looking over a shoulder—is to take a moment and try to figure out when the film is set.

Over the last few months we have been spoilt for choice when it comes to interesting indie genre fare. The Guest, Predestination, The Babadook and Coherence all seem to have chimed with the very particular audiences they attract and David Robert Mitchell’s It Follows seems to be treading the same path. Debuting at Sundance last year, the film has built up a head of steam since and along with the aforementioned Babadook, it has been rather difficult to escape it on film related social media for the last little while. On the basis of the film itself, this is hard to understand.

UK scare fans awaiting the terrifying times promised by David Robert Mitchell’s Cannes horror sensation It Follows only have to be patient a little while longer, as the film finally hits these shores next month. The new, slightly longer trailer has arrived to haunt the web.Beginning with footage that feels like a remixed version of the teaser we premiered exclusively last month, the new trailer takes viewers a little more deeply into the story, while still managing to leave much of what’s happening to the imagination.The Guest’s Maika Monroe is back in peril as Jay, a 19 year-old who has long romanticised the idea of love, relationships and sex. But now that she’s finally exploring such issues, she discovers something terrible. And soon enough she suspects – no, knows – that something malevolent is following her. She and her friends team up to get to the bottom of the threat,...
