... The central conceit of It Follows, the excellent new horror film from director David Robert Mitchell, sounds eerie the first time you hear it, but it only gets more frightening every time you think about it. And the movie goes out of its way to give you reasons to think about just how horrifying it would be for this to play out in real life ...
It Follows is a movie about a curse. While you're cursed, you will be stalked, mercilessly, by an entity that can take any form — including that of someone you love — and will stop at nothing to grab you and violently murder you. You can walk or run away from it easily. You can even drive away at top speed. But all that will do is buy you time. It will keep walking and keep walking. And it will catch you ...

Reminds me of a youtube video where a guy is chased by a cloaked entity from place to place, all over the world, with the goal of beating him to death with a spoon.
We are living the spookiest horror movie ever, RIGHT NOW.
I always thought “The Entity” was pretty scary.
So, Terminator IV without the technology?
I’ve always found that “Scary or Horror” films are so contrived that there is nothing frightful about them.
Denzel Washington in a very similar movie was quite good and creepy.
That's what I thought of when I read this.
The world is vaguely aware of two things that are coming: 1) something very wicked this way comes and 2) something wonderful and blessed is coming.
Seven years of monumental evil and catastrophic devastation wherein most of earth’s population will be killed, will be followed by 1000 years of the most blessed peace and harmony on earth since there was a nation.

Yea The Manchurian Candidate!!
Was that the one that also had John Goodman in it? If so, that was a good scare flick.
First one I thought of too! LOL!
Be sure and see The Babadook.
Agreed. I used to like a good, well plotted, horror movie then the slasher movies kind of took over and I always hated them. The last horror movie that I recall liking was "The Ring". That movie about the Godzilla like monster from outer space which you watch entirely through one of the character's video camera was also pretty good but I consider that more of a science fiction movie.
Central conceit?
