7 Horror Movie Prequels That Need To Happen

2. It Follows

Although the strange unexplained ambiguity of the ‘follower’ in It Follows is what makes the movie so intriguing, there is no denying that there is hunger to know more. How far back has it been going on for? Has there been one following someone since the beginning of time?

The great thing about an It Follows prequel is that it wouldn’t even necessarily have to explain the origin of the follower. It could merely be a snap shot of an earlier segment of the chain of followers who have passed it on.

There is still so much to explore with the concept and a prequel could take any number of routes. For example, if you go to another country will it still follow you across seas? A narrative focusing on a character who has spent their life jet-setting to keep it at bay, only for it to still always eventually catch up with them, would be just one intriguing potential direction.
