It Follows is a psychological horror film centered around Jay Height (Monroe), a college student. After a sexual encounter one night, she becomes the target of an unstoppable supernatural entity. This entity stalks he by taking the form of random people who chase her and her friends through their Detroit town. The only way to break the curse and stop the violent rampage towards her is to have sex with someone else and pass the curse along.
