20 Horror Films That Will Chill You To The Bone In 2015
2. It Follows
When director David Robert Mitchell appeared on the indie scene in 2010 with The Myth Of The American Sleepover, few would have guessed that his next project might be a horror movie. And yet, as follow-ups go, It Follows makes perfect sense, applying what worked best about that debut - namely, its haunting evocation of adolescent anxiety and yearning, set against the backdrop of an atmospheric suburb - to a far more commercial genre. In the film, emerging scream queen Maika Monroe stars as Jay, a 19-year-old who, after a seemingly innocent sexual encounter, finds herself plagued by strange visions and the unavoidable feeling that someone or something is following her. You know how Jaws made you never want to swim in an ocean again? Or how Psycho turned showers into potential death traps? Well, when It Follows opens in theatres later this year, it's most likely going to popularise abstinence. Seriously, this movie could close more legs than a Bill Belichick sex tape.
