10 Paranormal Horror Movies You Need To See Before You Die
5. It Follows
A real indie classic, It Follows is one of the most eerie and unsettling horror films anyone will ever watch.
The story of the film revolves around Jay, a teenage girl who starts being stalked by a strange entity after a night with her boyfriend. This entity can take on any form that it wants and, though it is only restricted to a slow walk, will continue to follow a person until it has either killed them, or they've passed it on by having sex with someone else.
The atmosphere and direction from behind David Robert Mitchell's camera is really what gives It Follow's its terrifying reputation. Mitchell uses distorted and blurry figures in the background of his scenes, as well as wide camera shots to really create a sense of paranoia throughout the film, and a couple of particularly eerie details along the way lends this film a surprising amount of value in watching over and over again.
Couple these with some superb acting performances, a chilling music score and the fact that nothing in this film seems to have a consistent time setting and It Follows crowns itself as one of the best paranormal horror films anyone will ever see.
