It Follows Star Teases Darker, More Twisted Sequel

Maika Monroe, star of the modern horror classic "It Follows," has teased the upcoming sequel titled "They Follow." Over a decade after the first film's release, Monroe describes the sequel as "bigger, darker, and more f**ked up." Originally concluded with an ambiguous ending, the sequel has been confirmed by director David Robert Mitchell, who aims to outdo the first film. Although specific plot details remain under wraps, Monroe expressed her excitement and confidence in Mitchell's vision for the sequel.

The original movie's atmospheric tension and innovative concept have cemented it as a standout in the horror genre, making the anticipation for "They Follow" all the more palpable. Fans of the genre will be keen to see how the sequel expands on the unsettling groundwork laid by its predecessor.
