What is the plot of They Follow?

The movie is still in the early stages of development so there are no concrete details on the plot yet.

However, Tom Quinn, co-president of Radius-TWC, which distributed the movie with Dimension Films, has hinted previously that a sequel could potentially see the narrative switched, with Jay hunting the origins of the mysterious entity instead of being followed herself.

“I don’t want to give away too much, but we’ve thought about it. Flip the title. There’s so much you could do," he said.
