10 Disturbing Things Found In The Background Of Horror Movies
7. The Figure - It Follows
2014's It Follows has definitely earned its spot amongst the elite of modern horror output.
The story follows Jay (Maika Monroe), a young woman being pursued by a murderous entity. The big twist is that the phantom's curse can be passed on sexually, making it rather hard to shake the thing once its on you.
Harder for some than others, that's for sure.
After defeating the villain through a rather dubious swimming pool-related scheme, Jay celebrates by getting it on with her new love interest Paul. The two youngster walk off into the sunset, holding hands, without a care in the world.
But wait, what's that behind them?
The film ends on a terrifyingly ambiguous note, as a lone figure can be seen slowly catching up to the couple as the screen fades to black. Is this just an innocent bystander? Or did the entity survive the pool?
The real harrowing truth is that neither Jay nor Paul can ever trust anyone ever again, as the shapeshifting entity stalked them in the form of their family and friends.
Family barbecues are definitely off the menu now, although that sounds like a blessing in disguise.
