Teenager, Jay (Maika Monroe), sleeps with her new boyfriend, Hugh (Jake Weary), for the first time. Soon, she learns that she is the latest recipient of a fatal curse that is passed from person to person via sexual intercourse. Death, Jay learns, will follow her in various incarnations until it catches and kills her. Her friends don’t believe her seemingly paranoid claims until they also begin to see the manifestation and band together to help defend her.
Like its predecessor, Halloween (1978), It Follows is one of those low-budget, indie horror movies that went on to become hugely popular despite it having been made by a relatively unknown crew. Join David and Tim as they discuss the modest history of the film and its phenomenal success. Listen… as Johnny Has the Keys takes you to an ethereal world where sex literally means death and a casual glance over your shoulder could be your last.
