It Follows

Why did this idiot buy a fucking house under a fake name along with a car that he knew he would have to ditch. Why didn't he just hire a prostitute? If he did it right then he's potentially going to be fine for years because she will have sex very frequently and keep passing it on, he wouldn't even have to tell her about it.

>why do people not just do something morally gray

Gee I dunno

what he did was morally grey

also the protagonist girl sleeps with two of her guy friends after she knows about it, one of whom is then killed

that's bretty grey

You saw how fast that thing caught up them that night they had sex, sure she was unconscious for a few hours. But a street whore woulda been up until then. She'd think it was a possible customer and die in the first few hours of having it passed on to her. Plan failed.

if he just got on a train to somewhere far away from it and then fucked a prostitute then they would definitely have time to pass it on

why didnt he just go to a bugchasing party? it would have to go through like 30 people before it got to him then

No. That's stupid and wrong. That's intentionally getting your friends in a permanent life threatening situation

So what happens when it kills every person in its chain? How does somebody get cursed with It?

Maybe I'd say like two-three weeks max, they wouldn't know about it and would get slaughtered.

Fucking a monkey. Same as aids.

but every time the chain reverts to the prostitute they will probably have passed it on again before it actually is able to walk to them

If I had that curse, this is what I would do

>Take a flight to bangcock
>have sex with a prostitute
>leave

by the time the thing walks across the ocean and gets to bangcock, the whore would have slept with hundreds of more men, and those men wuold have slept with dozens and dozens of different women. Saved?

>they wouldn't know about it and would get slaughtered.

this is the main thing. without foreknowledge of what you're up against you're fucked, and when it kills its current victim it moves back to you. telling the person you pass it on to is what buys you the most time, and since no one would believe you unless you showed them, his kidnapping scheme made sense.

i dont think it works like that though, i think its more like

you -> first person you sleep with after getting it -> first person they sleep with after getting it

and it goes back down that way as well. you can only pass it on again once 2 and 3 in that chain have been killed

So does it just spawn near who ever it's going after or does it have to walk the whole way to you no matter where it is?

Is this movie actually good? Saw its on netflix, but seemed kind of dumb. I dont expect to be scared, but is it at least entertaining? Good gore? Cool visuals? Would it be a good dude weed el em ay oh movie?

its a good movie with some shockingly bad moments that bring the whole thing down

>tfw you will never have teen sex in the back of a parked car with your sweetheart

when will the girl who played jay do nude scenes

the director said in an AMA it can walk onto a plane or fly one itself if need be

If this movie didn't get praised so highly I might have liked it. I know I should form my own opinion, but the mix of thinking it was just okay and everyone else thinking it's the best horror movie of the decade makes me dislike it.

The fucking tall ass form it took when he opened the door scared the shit out of me though, holy shit.

d-d-durrr retard

If he hires a prostitute or someone whos unaware, it would just fucking kill that person and get back at him again you fucking idiot.

Thats why he had to tell the girl that she has to run for the rest of her life or pass it on to some beta faggot.

Yeah you can't pass it onto multiple people. Only 1 at a time. So the only hope is that if you do sleep with some prostitute in another continent, you better pray that said hooker sleeps with a customer whose gonna pass it onto someone else so on and so forth that you're so far down the chain, you'll probably die of old age when you're up.

But even if you are successful, you'll always have to look over your shoulder for the rest of your life. That's the worst kind of fear to have. Always on your guard, sleeping with alarms or sensors that'll alert you if It somehow caught up to you much earlier than you anticipated. Not knowing which person you see is the Entity or not.

This is why the 1st half of this film was very good. You had this sinking feel of doom for Jay and the worst thing about being cursed is that it's like being in A Beautiful Mind. Other people will think you're crazy because they don't see the Entity (in whatever form it's in), but you do. So good luck trying to ask for help.

I mean, you could drive as far as you can, but it's gonna catch up with you. It's like the Terminator, it will NEVER stop. You have to sleep, but It doesn't. Those 8 hours means less distance between yourself and the Entity.

This is probably why the girl in the beginning just stopped at the beach. She probably ran out of gas, was too tired to walk/run, and knew that her day was up. Because no matter what, it's gonna find you. It's like this cursed version of Playing Tag and Six Degrees of Separation. You're it and until the Entity gets you or you pass it onto someone else. But you have to also hope that the new victim passes the curse quickly onto another schmuck and the cycle keeps repeating.

What the fuck was the point of that pool scene? They spend minutes silently and visually explaining the plan, give the audience the "oh shit that could work moment", then the writer breaks the existing rules of the monster in seconds and makes the entire scenario pointless. Why does it start throwing things instead of walking towards them? Why did they think shooting it would stop it when earlier that explicitly didn't?

And it's a lot easier for a cute girl in her late teens to get laid and pass it on than a guy. Unless you're insanely good-looking, have game, and some money, it's not gonna be that easy to sleep with someone.

Be honest, if some 19 year old blonde girl whose reasonable attractive and doesn't act slutty came onto you, would you turn her down? And you have no knowledge of the curse btw.

I do wonder though, can protected sex prevent you from catching it? Because I noticed nobody seemed to use a condom in this movie.

They're kids. Kids do stupid shit. It's the kind of resolution you would've seen in Are You Afraid of the Dark? except this is an R-rated horror film. Things don't go according to plan.

>But even if you are successful, you'll always have to look over your shoulder for the rest of your life. That's the worst kind of fear to have.

That paranoia is probably my biggest fear . Fucking hell reading this gave me anxiety.

No, I mean from a screenwriting perspective why include all that set-up for a plan and scene that amounts to nothing

What happens if you put one of those horizontal airport escalators in reverse between you and It? Will it start a light jog?

>do this
>on plane make to america
>"it" is on the plane

Exactly. I don't think I've ever seen a horror film that makes you paranoid like this.

With guys like Freddy, Jason, Chucky, or Michael, you can still escape them if you're quick enough. In Freddy's case, he's bound by the town limits of Springwood. Jason, Chucky, or Michael can certainly try and track you down, but if you live off the grid, you'd probably be safe. Especially if you moved to another continent.

The only threat that actively seeks you out like the Entity from It Follows is a Terminator. And what's worse is that it's a walking computer with reinforced exo-skeleton or made-up of nanomachines (T-1000 or the one from Genesys). It has detailed files about you and in this day and age, it's gonna be damned impossible to NOT be caught on camera or use something that can electronically track you.

But I'd argue that you have something of a chance against a Terminator compared to the Entity. At least it's a machine, under the right circumstances like acid, molten steel, or whatnot, you can defeat a T-1000 or the John impersonator. A T-800 requires luring it to a scrapyard where you can use a magnet to capture it and drop it into a compactor or something. Or use high-explosives to blow it into smithereens.

The Entity is supernatural and while it can be slowed down, it doesn't look like it can die from conventional means. That's why this thing is fucking terrifying. An unstoppable force that's gonna hunt you down; basically a corporeal version of the curse from Final Destination.

This movie was such shit. The monster clearly follows the laws of physics, it's been demonstrated to the characters multiple times. They come up with the stupidest plans to avoid it. They don't even attempt to alert police or any authority figures to the matter despite the monster showing it doesn't care who's present.

Just a shitty horror movie cashing in on "sex sells".

I didn't like the monster. I didn't like the characters. The only time I was rooting for anyone was for the monster during their pure retard plan of electrocution via pool.

>fly to a different country
>Go to Guinness world record orgy attempt

What happens if you fuck a girl while getting fucked in the ass by another guy? Who does it follow?

The director probably couldn't find a proper conclusion and decided to half-ass it. The kids making that outrageous plan is something that can plausibly work within a narrative. And it's still a downer ending because chances are, Jay and her friend are gonna be murdered by that person whose walking slowly behind them. I'm definitely sure it's the Entity.

Personally, I would've ended it like this:

After the neighbor she slept with gets killed, Jay flees in a car. She's racing down a lone highway and stops after driving hours. She decides to make a pit stop where there's a lot of people to get gas and something to eat. But somebody comes from behind her (the gas attendant to tell her that her tank is full) and she freaks out. She was so tightly-wound that the paranoia caught up to her.

She flees the gas station after apologizing to the attendant and paying. Before she starts up the car, she glances in her rearview mirror (hence the movie poster) and noticed someone walking near her car. The audience knows it's probably not the Entity because it can't travel that fast, but it's ambiguous enough to make you wonder. Jay is shook up and floors it.

The rest of the movie is Jay trying to get as far away from the Entity. She runs out of cash and sleeps with random men to hitchhike as well as pass on the curse. Eventually we see how life on the road catches up to her. She's a mess. She lives in an abandoned building with multiple escape routes and there's tripwires with bottles and cans all over the windows and doors. Jay is sleep-deprived because she's afraid that It will catch up to her. The final moments is the sound of one of the bottles rattling and she doesn't know whether to check it out or run.

>They don't even attempt to alert police or any authority figures to the matter despite the monster showing it doesn't care who's present.
To be fair, the only plausible way to do this is have Jay out in the open with plenty of people and cameras nearby. As soon as the Entity approaches, her friends can spill paint on it or throw something that will cover it and give it form. People will be freaked that something out of nowhere has form and is moving toward this girl. It can't be dismissed as a hoax because it's actually happening.

The only reason why I think nobody ever thought to do this is that it's incredibly risky. What if it fails? You have to now flee with that thing hot on your tail so better make sure you have a car with a full tank or something.

You type like a redditor.

The movie had its problems, but calling it shit is quite a stretch. There's clearly a lot of love put into this project compared to other current horror movies...

even if there's a demon curse too.

people would rather die than fuck you.

Why do you say that? I'm not part of them, but I do visit that site here and there because I've gotten good tips for school and jobs.

Fly a plane?

Why doesn't it just run its victims over

There is absolutely nothing stopping them from attempting to do this beforehand.

Do you think the movie would have been improved by scenes with Jay trying to involve the cops, goverment, or whatever?

The CIA would have use for such an entity involving female agents and covert supernatural assasinations.

What happens if you fuck an animal?
Will it stalk the animal? Why not simply fuck it away from humanity by jerking off with a sedated rabbit you keep around for breeding?

Bang a seagull, problem solved.

The existing rules were just what the guy at the beginning had said. Nothing in the movie leads to believing he is reliable. They were desperate and had no idea what to do so they were trying anything.

I think condom does prevents it, other way its useless to pass it on to someone without telling them about it afterwards because no body wants to get slaughtered by that thing, so they would find more ways and even more reliable than just passing it onto a whore, no matter how fast she passed it on to some random guy its also that easier for that curse to get back at them.

I think this is where a lot of the hate over this movie stems from. We never know the full extent of what it can and cant do, all the info is guesswork from teenagers who've only been dealing with it for a few days, though the guy who gives it to her definitely seems to have had it long enough to figure a good bit about it but even then nothing concrete. The monster doesn't break any rules because we dont know its rules.

I just wonder how it started and what happens once it runs down the line.

it started with Eve, the original sinner

what is up with all the threads about this shitty movie recently?

Ever Since Eve...

Men have cried while women deceive.

You trust a gal and then she's gone

Believe me it's been going on

Ever, yes, ever since Eve.

Cause it just sounds like reddit.

Nice trips though.

What if someone in the chain dies from unrelated causes before it gets to them? Does it just skip that person and go to the next one? How would it know?

this is literally the same thing I thought of while watching this movie. Only smart thing to do

lol shut up fuckin nitpicking retard
>go to police station to tell them
>no one believes that an invisible monster is actually chasing you
>put in a crazy house and now dead for sure

The prostitute could potentially bang a permavirgen nerd who saved up his good boy points to pay for her.

They he dies and it comes for the slut next. Then the dude is back to square one

Except you get to live your life with the knowledge that at any point in time it can kill you, even when you're taking a shit, in a crowded room, or sleeping.

I can't even sleep knowing there's a spider in my room but hey sweet dreams.

>Thrown into a super safe and secure room

It's not getting in

they dont keep you in that room 24/7 bud

OP, everyone here is wrong. We clearly saw when they went to the beach house that even if you don't have the curse you can see its effects ie. Jay's hair standing vertically, the white knight being tossed ten feet, the hole kicked in the door.

So what we'll have to do is bait it and video tape one of its attacks, capturing on film the Entity. We perhaps do it in a public setting so multiple average joe's see it and videotape it. It goes viral and becomes public knowledge.

We then pool the collective brain power and raw numbers of humanity to find a way to study it, test it etc. We will then find a way to disable it or keep it in a permanent loop of pursuit.

its not visible to people it isnt following retard

Only worthwhile part of It Follows

>Go to hardware store
>buy a shit ton of paint
>fucking drown that shit in paint with whatever means possible

Now you have a fucking humanoid half invisible and half covered in paint following you around that the ENTIRE WORLD including intrigued scientists/government/military would love to get their fucking fingers on. Tell them what the deal is with it and THERE YOU HAVE INSTANT PROTECTION.

>Except you get to live your life with the knowledge that at any point in time it can kill you
This is literally your life right now.
You don't think about it, but you could die at any time. Tomorrow, a year from now, etc. Maybe you'll have a good run. Maybe you won't. That's life.

>2017
>being illiterate

Why did "IT" bother standing on her roof?

We've solved the solution to dealing with "it" in another thread.
>Fuck a pornstar
>Assemble the surviving porn stars created from the constant fucking as a sort of Task Force XXX
>We lure "it" into an abandoned mine shaft/DEEP HOLE
>The group pushes it in
>The thing has an autistic fit because it cant climb out

everyone would think its a hoax retard, how are you people so dumb

the entire logic of the film falls apart if you've ever owned a roomba

it could climb on a roof for no reason theres no proof it couldnt just walk straight up a wall.

Quentin Tarantino pointed out the movie breaks its own rules/lore with the pool scene alone

Debatable. Roof access isnt that big of a feat so the argument could go either way. So I guess add bombs to collapse the mine or fill the hole then.

Think she barricaded the doors/windows so it was probably trying to find a way in from the second floor.

When it kills the first chick it mutilates her body but then the dude just gets his life drained from cowgirl? Why so violent?

What if you cum in the its mouth?

What if you and your friends infected each other and then the last person to be infected waited for the thing, he friends would stay with next person and when it arrives the guys who are not the "next" hold it while the "next" guy fucks it in the ass?
Would it kill itself?

What if you tie down It and fuck its ass?

Does it eternally spin?

how so?

Are there mulltiple its? or a singular one?

Asking the important questions here as always.
I say just dump a bag of flour on it scooby doo style and give yourself to the cops

Just one. It can take any form it wants, but it still has to physically walk at a slow pace towards its cursed target.

you still dont get it nigger

it was established in the film that it isnt dumb, thats why it didnt fall for the scooby doo pool thing at the end

this is correct

well you dont really see the guy's "aftermath"

Kek

>love horror films
>hyped for It Follows
>buys it
>complete millenial horseshit

What happens if i kill myself before it catches me

i think it kills them in like a sexual way, the girls leg is bent the complete opposite way which might be from her resisting

daily reminder that these two could have handled it follows in a day tops. salt circles and shotguns would have held it off until they broke the curse. there's usually a cursed object nearby that allows this type of manifestation, this one obviously had wide range and seemingly no limit so that would be the mystery they have to solve

Why did it break the window in the house scene If it didn't need to in the schoo scene?
Does it need to enter place through conventional means or can it just phase through walls?

To kill it you would need to sleep with it.
So find a way to block it and rape it.
This will create a paradox.

Oh fuck off, show tanked right after Sam jumped in the pit with Michael.

I laughed so hard when she went out to the boat with the bros and obviously had em run a train on her, that shit was hilarious.

You people are fucking retarded

It doesn't matter if the prostitute fucks hundreds of guys. It's irrelevant. It's only gonna count the first person she fucks.

You think your going to be safe just from passing it on to a hooker? No, it's gonna kill the first John she slept with, then her, then it's going to be after you

Everyday with this thread and nobody still figured out how to beat it when the solution is fucking simple.

Once you know it's following you it's simple to deal with since it has a physical body

>dig a deep hole in your backyard
>fly to a different city
>go to grocery store and buy paint or tar
>fly back home and lure it to your hole
>pour paint/tar on it
>it's now forever visible
>call cops that there's some kind of creature/alien in your backyard
>it starts killing cops
>government gets called in
>secures it in an unbreakable containment prison and becomes a test subject
>become famous for discovering an alien
>fuck anybody you want
>even if it escapes you wont be the first target and you'd know about it in advance

there you win
