The Witch: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. lineage (lineage): It Follows ⇒ The Witch (the host's read). It Follows is a precursor to The Witch in the rise of the term elevated horror, a phrase both hosts distrust.
    “I think is an interesting precursor to the witch because that's when we started hearing what I think is kind of an ugly phrase, which is elevated horror”

Connected to

John Carpenter: 1 line lineage ×1

  1. lineage (lineage): It Follows → John Carpenter. Chris compares It Follows to Carpenter, though he knows Mitchell tired of that comparison.
    “I apologize for comparing this to John Carpenter”
    The Big Picture · The 10 Best Horror Movies of the Decade | The Big Picture · 0:25:48 · Chris Ryan (0.85 sure it was them)

The Myth of the American Sleepover: 1 line career ×1

  1. career (career): It Follows → The Myth of the American Sleepover. Mitchell's non-horror previous film shares It Follows' atmosphere and use of young actors.
    “does have a lot in common with it follows in terms of its sort of atmosphere”

Under the Silver Lake: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): Under the Silver Lake → It Follows. Under the Silver Lake is a detective, paranoia, internet movie, a very different energy from It Follows.

Fun items about it

  1. fun, about It Follows: Against 80s horror, where sex gets you killed, the cursed girl here is the heroine.
    “Anybody who has sex in a horror movie is just the 1st person to die and it's the virtuous final girl who makes it to the end.”
