With the help of classmate Jenny (Spencer Locke), the boys must solve the mystery of Monster House and destroy it before it destroys them. Nebbercracker who’s haunting the neighborhood, but the house itself. One by one, objects and people start disappearing, leading to the realization that it’s not Mr. Nebbercracker starts to chase them away, only to suddenly collapse and be rushed to the hospital. Nebbercracker (Steve Buscemi), a menacing old man who steals children’s belongings, D.J.’s best friend Chowder (Sam Lerner) accidentally kicks a basketball onto his lawn. (Mitchel Musso) home alone for Halloween weekend. The film kicks off when the Walters leave their son D.J. “Monster House” became an instant Halloween classic when it debuted in the summer of 2006. “It Follows” is seen as a modern classic for a reason it’s that damn good.įollowing 2004’s inadvertently creepy “Polar Express,” it was only a matter of time before motion capture animation made its way to the horror genre.

If the thing catches you, then it goes on to the next person that had it and so on. And one of those films is “It Follows.” Written and directed by David Robert Mitchell, “It Follows” is centered around an ingenious idea – there’s an otherworldly threat (you could call it a curse or a demon) that continually comes after you, unless you “pass it along” via sex. If the current craze of so-called “elevated horror” has an identifiable template, it was probably established by only a handful of films.
