It has been announced that the beloved horror movie It Follows is set to be given a sequel, and it’s going to be even darker and scarier than its predecessor.
The 2015 film follows a curse that is passed from person to person via sexual intercourse with the victims stalked and killed by a supernatural entity after catching the curse.
The film has a 95% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes and is one of the highest-rated horror films with fans praising it as one of the best horror movies of all time.
A review from Vox called it ‘the scariest American horror movie’ and Vice agreed it was the ‘best horrors in recent memory’. One reviewer even said the film was ‘a classical horror masterpiece’.
The first film was a smash hit and fans will be delighted to hear that the sequel is set to be just as dark and scary.
Maika Monroe, who starred in the first film as the protagonist Jamie ‘Jay’ Height, revealed that the new script is ‘so f***ing good’.

The actress told Collider that the credit must be given to the writer and director, David Robert Mitchell, who wrote the first film and is returning for the second.
‘I’m not taking any credit in this, David is brilliant. I mean, he is brilliant. The whole movie transformed at that point. It was changing the game in the genre, and he wouldn’t ever make a sequel if he didn’t think it was going to top it.
‘He’s very specific, turns down so many… He just knows what he wants to do and what he wants to make. I mean, at first, I’m like, “Oh, a sequel? Where are we going to go here?” And I read it, and it’s just so f***ing good. It’s so good. I’m so excited.’
She went on to reveal a little more about the new plot.
‘I think where you’ll meet Jay at this point is maybe not what’s expected, but it’s so cool. It’s just, of course, as everyone says for sequels, literally, though, is just bigger and darker and more f***ed up. Reading it was the craziest thing ever.’

The actress revealed that she is excited to reprise her role and ‘can’t wait’ to begin filming.
‘I am so excited for this role. It’s been a long time since I’ve been this excited to delve into something.
‘There’s a lot there to play with, and I think it’s going to be incredibly challenging, for sure, but so fulfilling. Working with David, I can’t wait,’ she said.
