Dark Dream Cinema is a monthly film series devoted to the creeping undercurrents of the arthouse scene, hosted by Michael Morlaine.

“A horror film that will haunt your waking hours for weeks. Every frame of It Follows is stamped with nameless dread.” -Total Film

After a devastatingly bad date, suburban everyteen Jay finds herself trapped in a race to survive: She’s been cursed to be followed forever by a creature with no name, and she needs to pass it on before it catches up. With few she can trust and nowhere to hide, her only hope is to evade her phantom pursuer until time runs out for them both.

Dark, brooding, and creepy as hell, It Follows boils the classic trappings of horror down to their essence, crystallizing decades of stalker flicks into a single subversive statement. A testament to high concept and economy of execution, it served as the shot across the bow for the rebirth of American horror, launching a decade of smaller, more intimate films that preyed upon the psyche and burrowed under the skin. Come see this modern classic the way it was meant to be seen, on a screen large enough to hide all of your fears.
