'Secretary' 

Lee Holloway (Maggie Gyllenhaal) is a young woman who, after a stay in a mental institution, finds herself dealing with life under the watchful eye of her overprotective parents. She looks for independence as she takes a job as a secretary for a strict attorney (James Spader). As she begins a relationship with the sweet but unremarkable Peter (Jeremy Davies), Lee discovers that her new boss's domineering behavior awakens a certain desire within her. She explores a sadomasochistic relationship with her new boss while discovering new boundary-stretching limits and living what is, essentially, a double life.

'It Follows'

College student James "Jay" Height (Maika Monroe) finds herself in a nightmare after sleeping with her new boyfriend. She discovers that she's been cursed, and an otherworldly entity that can assume the appearance of anyone is on her trail, pursuing her until it claims her life. The only way to break the curse? Passing it on to someone else the same way she acquired it. As Jay's friends initially dismiss her claims, they soon witness the curse's apparitions themselves and join forces to help her outrun or outwit it, no matter what. This is one horror movie where sex literally should be avoided, and not just a parable for remaining abstinent.
