Hungover and Haunted Presents: It Follows

Exploring fear, intimacy and the idea of a curse passed from body to body, It Follows is a modern classic of horror that feels like a chain letter written in flesh. David Robert Mitchell turns a simple rule into a wake up sweating nightmare, with Maika Monroe at the centre of a story that sits comfortably beside early Carpenter and De Palma in its control and unease.

The night begins with It Follows, in which Jay, a Detroit teenager, discovers that a brief sexual encounter has tied her to a fatal curse that can only be passed on to another lover. A figure that only the cursed can see walks toward her at a steady pace, wearing any face, appearing at any distance. Jay and her friends move through quiet suburbs and crumbling spaces, trying to understand the rules while the film folds in the anxiety of sexually transmitted fear, guilt and responsibility.

Expect a cold synth score, a seashell reader and the unnerving feeling that someone naked in the background has started walking straight toward you.
