David Robert Mitchell’s must-see It Follows started it’s life in just 4 theaters across America, and destroyed them all taking it a whopping $40k per screen average. expanding into more theaters next week, I don’t think The Weinstein Company understood what they had on their hands, and are about to have their hands on the next great indie horror hit.
While we wait for it to expand closer and closer, the new art poster does the exact same. “It” may be in the rearview mirror, but it won’t stop until you’re dead…or you pass the curse along to someone else.
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.
“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.
