8 Movie Plot Details That Are Insanely Easy To Miss

8. It Follows - The Final Entity Is Jay's Father

It Follows is arguably the creepiest horror film of recent years, and it certainly has one of the most unique premises. The creature that stalks the main character Jay can take the shape of any person it wants, and it often takes the form of someone she knows just to mess with her.

During the finale, she and her friends lure it into a trap, and Jay seems extra upset by the form it takes; that of a nondescript dude with a beard. She refuses to tell her friends what she sees, and after a hard fight, the creature is apparently defeated.

The film never explicitly states who this figure was, but if the viewer examines Jay’s family photos they’ll see him there. He’s her father, who seemingly passed away years before. The photos were taken when Jay was young yet he looks exactly the same when the entity copies him, his absence is never explained and her mother is a lonely alcoholic.

This would certainly explain why she was so upset, and confirms the creature is a real douche.
