How it scared people
The vibe
A shape only you can see walks toward you forever, passed on like a curse. Mitchell's premise is elegantly simple and infinitely dreadful — wide shots become threat assessments, and Disasterpeace's synth score turns suburban Detroit into a haunted dream.

It Follows carries no MPAA certificate. We score it 3/5 for jump scares, 1/5 for gore and 5/5 for lingering dread, over 100 minutes. Very little blood — the hard part here is atmosphere and aftermath, not graphic content. Older teens and adults — less for what it shows than for how long it stays with you.
We rate what the film does — scares, gore, dread — not scene-level content like language or nudity, which we don't track.
