On this episode of Film Jury, jurors James, Kat, and Kristina put It Follows on trial. What begins as a minimalist horror premise unfolds into a deeply unsettling meditation on inevitability, trauma, sexuality, and time.
The jury breaks down the film scene by scene, unpacking its symbolic language. The walking entity. The role of water and blood. The use of classic monster movies. The anachronistic setting. The way fear invades classrooms, bedrooms, pools, and family homes. Nothing is accidental, and nothing offers easy answers.
Is It Follows a morality tale, a coming-of-age nightmare, or an existential horror about death itself?
After examining its themes, symbolism, and lasting impact, the jury delivers a unanimous verdict.
James: Not Guilty.
Kat: Not Guilty.
Kristina: Not Guilty.
It Follows walks away free, still following, and still haunting long after the credits roll.
