Metropolitan Films has posted our first look in the form of a French-subtitled international trailer for It Follows , which you can check out below in all its NSFW glory!
The premise of It Follows involves teenagers who are stalked by eerie, slow-walking figures whose touch brings instant death, and the only way to be rid of the curse is to have sex with someone else. In other words, it’s a monster STD.
It stars Maika Monroe (The Guest) as Jay, a 19-year-old girl who “acquires” this slow-but-relentless follower after a sexual encounter and must band together with her friends to figure out a way to stop these figures before they’re all wiped out. The film has received rave reviews from festival dates like Cannes and TIFF, where its minimalist, slow-burn aesthetic has been compared to John Carpenter.
RADiUS and The Weinstein Company acquired US rights to It Follows at Cannes, with an expected first-quarter 2015 release, although there is no official word at this time. It will next screen at Sundance in January. The film co-stars Keir Gilchrist, Daniel Zovatto, Jake Weary, Olivia Luccardi and Lili Sepe.
