10 Best Chase Scenes In Horror Movies

1. All Of It - It Follows

Best Horror Movie Chases
Northern Light Films

In David Robert Mitchell's supernatural flick, a university student called Jay becomes cursed, causing an entity called The It to follow her. Since The It can take any form, Jay cannot tell when the mercurial creature is approaching until it's too close for comfort.

It Follows doesn't just have one of the scariest chase sequences, but arguably the longest and most inventive. Basically, the chase occurs throughout the entire movie.

Due to the unique nature of The It, it's difficult not to second-guess every background extra, knowing one of them could be the shapeshifting demon. Even when Jay is speaking to people she knows, she's constantly on guard, knowing The It can morph into a friend or loved one.

Just to amplify the terror further, The It can only be seen by the one who's cursed. Since the scene is occasionally shown from the point of view of Jay's friends, The It is invisible to them. As such, it's hard to tell if The It is close by, even if it's standing right behind Jay. (Her friends learn this the hard way.)

Though The It moves slowly and rarely kills anyone, its unwavering determination to reach its target is truly nightmare-inducing.
