This month was the aptly named “It’s Right Behind You!” horror edition. Instead of going right for the classics, we featured recent movies from the last 5 years. While each had its own different source of terror and approach, they all fit into the larger history of the horror genre and its familiar tropes.

Here’s the lineup:

It Follows – The deadly curse that keeps getting passed on.

The Cabin in the Woods – The group that gets more than they bargained for in the remote destination.

The Babadook – The storybook monster comes to life

And the winner was…

It Follows (2014)

107 mins

Director: David Robert Mitchell

Stars: Maika Monroe, Keir Gilchrist, Olivia Luccardi

After carefree teenager Jay sleeps with her new boyfriend, Hugh for the first time, she learns that she is the latest recipient of a fatal curse that is passed from victim to victim via sexual intercourse. Death, Jay learns, will creep inexorably toward her as either a friend or a stranger. Jay’s friends don’t believe her seemingly paranoid ravings, until they too begin to see the phantom assassins and band together to help her flee or defend herself.

FINAL RATING: 4 out of 8 slices (some good scares but not our new favorite)
