I don't love horror movies that are filled with gore or jump-scares, but It Follows was filled with ominous foreboding and young people making terrible decisions, which are exactly the kinds of things I watch horror movies for. In this movie there's a supernatural shapeshifting creature that very slowly follows its victims to steal their lifeforce, but you can pass on victimhood to another person by having sex with them. If that person dies the creature comes back up the chain to follow you. I kind of like the concept better than some of the story choices, but the filmmakers did a great job of building a creeping horror. That the monster is invisible to everyone but the victim makes for a lot of good "yelling at the screen" moments when you're watching. Good stuff.
