SUNDAY AFTERNOON DRINKING GAME: IT FOLLOWS

It’s another weekend, everyone. Time once again to illegally download an excellent film, and prepare to get royally cunted.

Halle-fuckin-lujah, it looks like the horror genre might finally be making a comeback. For a while there in the earlier years of the 21st century, it seemed like the well had almost run completely dry and there was nothing but a parade of shitty remakes and/or sequels, and worst of all, the mainstreaming of the torture subgenre, which came and went in a mercifully limited time frame. But in the past couple of years it seems like more creative, understated genre entries have been popping up more and more, with an emphasis on clever ideas and solid filmmaking, rather than cheap scares and shock value. And the place where the horror genre has been thriving for the past decade or so is the independent market, which is where It Follows comes into play.


DRINK EVERY TIME THE FOLLOWING HAPPENS: you see “it”.

MASSIVE FUCK-0FF GULP WHENEVER: an old fashioned horror cliché interrupts the proceedings.

DRAIN IT WHENEVER: a character has sex with another person in the hopes of passing “it” along.
