After carefree teenager Jay (Maika Monroe) sleeps with her new boyfriend, Hugh (Jake Weary), for the first time, she learns that she is the latest recipient of a fatal curse that is passed from victim to victim via sexual intercourse. Death, Jay learns, will creep inexorably toward her as either a friend or a stranger. Jay's friends don't believe her seemingly paranoid ravings, until they too begin to see the phantom assassins and band together to help her flee or defend herself.

Critics Consensus

Smart, original, and above all terrifying, It Follows is the rare modern horror film that works on multiple levels -- and leaves a lingering sting.

It Follows represents a compelling evolution in how studios and audiences can (and should) conceive of its monsters.

No question that the storytelling here is impressive; the story itself, however, is a bit thin.

Rated: 3/5

Decider

Its meticulous directorial vision and thematic ambition are what make it a modern masterwork. Once you see It Follows it will follow you forever.

The Wolfman Cometh

Could skirt by on its slick aesthetics alone, but by injecting genuinely frightening sequences and allegorical fears faced by teenagers make for something both fresh and familiar.

Rated: 4/5

The story of this movie is really stupid & boring. If you watch proper horror movie like babadook, smile, conjuring, sinister than this movie is nothing literally the whole movie is about sex & random naked people who is demon is follows the girl. It's like being a virgin is ultimate power of this movie. The main lead girl character is so stupid & annoying. Whole movie is pointless. I don't prefer this movie to anyone. Don't waste your time. They didn't even clear the ending.
