![]() What could have been a ridiculous “Friday the 13th” style teen sex horror is played completely straight, and Mitchell’s competent directing produces something downright thrilling. When a young girl (Maika Monroe) finds herself terrorized after a strange sexual encounter, she is forced to pass the demonic being on to a new sexual partner. Such was the case with “It Follows,” David Robert Mitchell’s chilling film about a supernatural entity that essentially takes the form of an STD. But once in a while, someone comes up with a premise that’s truly fresh. With so many horror movies being released every year, it can often feel like the genre has tackled every possible original idea, and all that’s left is to find new spins on the best ones.

The slasher movie genre has always thrived on gory simplicity, and this story about four young friends on the run from a killer with a large hook is a reminder that sometimes all you need to scare audiences is a shadowy figure with a cool weapon. Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jennifer Love Hewitt headline this iconic teen slasher movie from director Jim Gillespie. Sometimes cult classics are cult classics for a reason.
