THEY FOLLOW

Directed by David Robert Mitchell

Neon is co-producing the It Follows sequel, They Follow. Filmmaker David Robert Mitchell is back at the helm to write and direct, with Maika Monroe reprising her role as Jay Height.

It Follows is a psychological horror centered on Jay Height (Monroe), a college student who, after a sexual encounter, becomes the target of an unstoppable supernatural entity. As the entity takes the form of random people, slowly but relentlessly stalking her and her friends through the Detroit area, she grapples with the fact that she will only be able to escape the curse she has inherited by passing it on to someone else through sex.

The film was snapped up by Radius-TWC after premiering to rave reviews at Cannes in 2014. Regarded as one of the best horror films of the 2010s, the project launched Monroe to stardom and made a studio director of Mitchell, all while grossing around $23M against a reported budget of a little more than a million.

David Robert Mitchell has added 10 to the cast of They Follow, the Neon-backed follow-up to his critically acclaimed 2015 horror film It Follows: Jackie Earle Haley (Little Children), Justine Lupe (Succession), Anna Mirodin (Ivan), Jayne Taini (Unbelievable), Michael Gandolfini (Daredevil: Born Again), Tom Pecinka (Stereophonic), Melora Walters (Magnolia), Ben Krieger (Song Sung Blue), Natalie Shinnick (The Brutalist) and Jan Hoag (The Fabelmans).

Neon reps worldwide rights to They Follow and will release the film in U.S. theaters. Neon International is handling foreign sales
