The original film works as a self contained story. I think a sequel will ruin the mystery and lore.

Does the story of They Follow follow the story of It Follows? Will I be able to follow They Follow if I haven't followed It Follows?
I don't follow.
Would They Follow follow It Follows if It Follows doesn't follow They Follow? Of course, They Follow follows It Follows as It Follows precedes They Follow.
Ok, "follow" looks and sounds wrong now. I've said it too much.
To be fair, I haven't watched both films yet, due to me still being a bit broke in terms of money. Yet, to jestly answer, Something is indeed following both film's plots, one by one.
Woot! Looking forward to this. I loved the first one, for the story and for the strangeness of things in it. Remember the clamshell e-book reader? Need more of that tech in real life!
That weird e-reader thing is one of the small touches I love about it. Among other things, it really gives the movie this out-of-time feeling. Which I think adds to the uneasiness of it as a whole.
It really seemed weird the mix of technology that was in that movie didn't it?
Loved it. I think I read that they purposely did it to make it not able to place in any time period. No cell phones. Everyone looks vaguely 80s style. Lots of older cars. But then this weird future e-reader in a seashell? wtf.
Seriously. My fiance and I were boggled by that thing as well
Only question: is Disasterpeace doing the soundtrack again?
Slightly off topic, but when I first watched It Follows, I hated it. But when I rewatched it, it became one of my favorite horror movies ever. Do you all have this happen sometimes? Is it just not being in the right mood? Not paying attention? Growing as a person? I think for me I was annoyed with the character's actions. But I've become way more lenient on what I consider "unrealistic" character actions. People in high stress stuations rarely make the best decisions and I accept that more in movies.
Curious your thoughts.
It's a shame his follow up, Under the Silver Lake didn't get more traction, I thought it was a really interesting movie.
Oh fantastic movie. I love weird, surreal stuff like that.
