Horror For 19-year-old Jay, fall should be about school, boys and weekends out at the lake. But after a seemingly innocent sexual encounter, she finds herself plagued by strange visions and the inescapable sense that someone, or something, is following her. Faced with this burden, Jay and her teenage friends must find a way to escape the horrors that seem to be only a few steps behind.

United Kingdom	Tim Robey Telegraph	"Despite borrowing cleverly from the best, It Follows still manages to feel like no other example in recent years - tender, remarkably ingenious and scary"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"David Robert Mitchell has clearly studied up on John Carpenter. But Mitchell has his own twisted gift for letting atmosphere help define character. It Follows creeps you out big-time (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"Creepy, suspenseful and sustained, this skillfully made lo-fi horror movie plays knowingly with genre tropes and yet never winks at the audience, giving it a refreshing face-value earnestness that makes it all the more gripping."	POS
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"'It Follows' abides by a principle that few horror movies have the courage to embrace: The unknown is the unknown."	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Mitchell brings off some sensational setpieces of fear and suspense. I can’t remember when I was last so royally freaked out in the cinema. (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Starting off strong before losing its way in the end, this stylish, suspenseful chiller should significantly broaden Mitchell’s audience"	POS
United States	Michael O'Sullivan The Washington Post	"It Follows" is one of the scariest movies I've ever seen. It's also one of the most beautiful.	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"'It Follows' turns to eighties teen slashers of the 'Halloween' and 'Nightmare on Elm Street' variety while elevating them to a more abstract plane, rendering the looming threat of adulthood in ominous terms."	POS
United States	Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune	"David Robert Mitchell forms a provocative filmic world of slowly unfolding secrets, creating a highly disturbing, highly recommended nightmare"	POS
