In the discussion of best horror movies ever, particularly of the 21st century, David Robert Mitchell’s It Follows is an obvious inclusion. Constructed around a monstrous parable for the consequences of unprotected sex, the film earned critical acclaim and a great deal of love from the genre community, with star Maika Monroe instantly viewed as a promising scream queen. Following a premiere at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, the film got a theatrical release in the spring of 2015, and nearly a decade later, the film is now being...followed...by a sequel.
The It Follows sequel is appropriately titled They Follow, and it’s a project that is coming together rather quickly. So what do we know about the project? Who is making it? Who is starring in it? The express purpose of this feature is to answer all of those questions and more – and we’ll start at the very beginning when the film was first announced.
