What you may need to know:
1. After a one night stand, Jay (Maika Monroe) discovers that her partner has transferred a sinister presence onto her that will follow her relentlessly unless she can pass it on to someone else…
2. …Like gonorrhoea. Or genital herpes. “It” seems like a not-so-subtle allegory for an STD. Remember kids: Always use protection.
3. It Follows premiered at Cannes last year and has been getting pretty great reviews.
4. Between this, The Babadook (2015) and Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming Crimson Peak (2015), it’s a good time for horror. Good riddance to bad found footage.
5. Monroe last appeared in The Guest, last year’s sleeper hit that proved that you should never judge a movie by the poster.
6. Broadsheet Prognosis: I Know Who You Did Last Summer.
Release Date: February 27.

Sounds a bit like Thanatomorphose and Contracted. There seems to be a new genre of horror that is sexually transmitted body horror. Beats found footage and hoodie horror anyway
Teeth?
It owes more to John Carpenter films than anything else, with its panaglide camera movements and nifty electronic score. So good it’s even showing at the Irish Film Institute.
Cannot wait to see this.
