scarifying First Trailer For IT FOLLOWS

It Follows released it’s first trailer and it is packed with some scarifying goodness. Metropolitan Films has posted our first look in the form of a French-subtitled international trailer.

The premise of It Follows involves teenagers who are stalked by eerie, slow-walking figures whose touch brings instant death, and the only way to be rid of the curse is to have sex with someone else. In other words, it’s a monster STD.

Stars Maika Monroe as Jay, a 19-year-old girl who “acquires” this slow-but-relentless follower after a sexual encounter and must band together with her friends to figure out a way to stop these figures before they’re all wiped out. The film has received rave reviews from festival dates like Cannes and TIFF, where its minimalist, slow-burn aesthetic has been compared to John Carpenter.

Release Date May 17, 2014.
