Foreign ‘It Follows’ Poster Goes J-Horror
Asian theatergoers must have a hair fetish as the symbol for the 2000’s J-horror craze was such, and now a brand new poster for It Follows partakes in the fun.
The international one-sheet flips the lead (Maika Monroe) around and gives us a very J-horror vibe (look at all of that luscious, evil hair!). But what I like about this poster is that it’s accidentally clever. You see, the way she’s standing on the poster, it looks as if she’s being followed (cool, right?) – albeit by the audience. I can’t read the text, so I can only assume this is a brilliant coincidence…
“For 19-year-old Jay (Maika Monroe), the fall should be about school, boys and weekends at the lake. Yet after a seemingly innocent sexual encounter she suddenly finds herself plagued by nightmarish visions; she can’t shake the sensation that someone, or something, is following her. As the threat closes in, Jay and her friends must somehow escape the horrors that are only a few steps behind.”
Monroe, who is becoming a legit Scream Queen, stars with Keir Gilchrist, Daniel Zovatto, Jake Weary, Olivia Luccardi and Lili Sepe.
I gave it a perfect score, calling it “a classical horror masterpiece.” Mike Pereira referred to as a creepy, mesmerizing exercise in minimalist horror” when reviewed out of the TIFF last September.

Now Anya must race to unlock the truth, before her descent into madness threatens to consume her mind, body and spirit. By the time she reveals the true nature of the ritual, will it be too late?”
