It Follows

David Robert Mitchell's It Follows is the most original horror concept of the 21st century. The premise — a supernatural entity passed through sexual contact that walks toward you at a constant, unhurried pace until it catches and kills you — is pure nightmare logic elevated to art. The film's power lies in its simplicity: every wide shot becomes a threat because the entity could be any person walking in the background. Mitchell's dreamy, deliberately timeless aesthetic — mixing 1970s television sets with futuristic e-readers — creates a world that feels both familiar and alien. The Disasterpeace score is the best horror soundtrack since Carpenter's Halloween. It Follows proved that a great idea, executed with discipline, can terrify more effectively than any amount of gore.
