Jay Height, a 19-year-old woman, leads an ordinary life until a romantic date with Hugh, a man she recently met, becomes a nightmare. Hugh passes a curse onto Jay through sexual contact, marking her as the target of a relentless supernatural entity. This being follows her step by step and will kill her if it catches up. The only way for Jay to survive is to pass the curse on to someone else. With the help of her friends, she devises a plan to stay alive. However, the curse is permanently closing in, forcing Jay to live in constant fear, unsure of whom to trust.

It Follows weaves a narrative rich in metaphors, exploring themes such as paranoia, safety, and the loss of youth's innocence, all while maintaining an ever-growing sense of tension. By reinterpreting classic slasher horror elements from a fresh perspective, the film has earned recognition as one of the most significant thrillers of the 2000s.
