It Follows: A Theory of How to Avoid "It"

It Follows: A Theory on How to Avoid "It"

SPOLILER ALERT: If you have not seen the movie, please read this post at your own discretion.

As you know, there’s not a lot of back story on where ‘It’ came from. But we do know a couple of things. ‘It’ comes after you as soon as you have sex with the person “It” is currently following. ‘It’ moves very slowly (you can outrun it), never stops, and can imitate anyone to it’s liking. ‘It’ will kill the person “It” is after and go after the next person down the line. “It” is kind of like a paranormal STD.

‘It’ will always come after you and the only way to temporarily get ‘It’ to stop is to have sex with someone else. Then, I believe that ‘It’ resets itself and starts after the new person. I say resets because it takes a long time for ‘It’ to come after that new person. I think ‘It’ goes back to its origin from where it came and starts from there. This ties into how I think you can survive ‘It’ following you.

If ‘It’ resets itself after you have sex with someone and then comes after the new person, why don’t you just have sex with the previous person you just had sex with?  The main character sleeps with multiple people throughout the movie to get ‘It’ to stop following her. Of course it worked temporary, but knowing what we know, it’s not a permanent fix. At the very end of the movie she sleeps with her best friend and they walk down the sidewalk together knowing that ‘It’ is following one of them.  Just keep sleeping with each other every day and you should be in the clear due to the time "It" takes to reset.  Of course this is assumes "It" resets and returns to its origins after every sexual encounter.  This is a common theory among the people who have seen this movie.  I think it is basically correct given what we know right now about "It."  More information is needed into the actual origins of "It" in order to flesh out my avoidance theory.  I hope a sequel is made addressing issues such as: where "it" came from, what "it" is, or even why sex is the only way to transmit "it."

Review for 'It Follows"

It Follows 

If you’ve seen this movie you definitely know how great it is. If you haven’t, you’re missing out on, arguably, the greatest independent horror film to date. This movie is the Napoleon Dynamite of the horror genre.  You don’t know what the exact year the film takes place and there is not a lot of back story.  There is an entity (the “It”) passed to the main character, and the only way to get rid of “It” is to pass “It” along to someone else resulting in a seemingly endless cycle of hexed people unaware of their fate.

This movie's plot is suspenseful, mysterious, simple yet complex and the characters play the role of confused and very frustrated as well.  The creepiness, mystery, and intrigue, enhanced by the creepy soundtrack, followed by watching this movie is not shortly forgotten.  You will surely pass a positive recommendation on to others, just as "It" is passed along, and they will follow suit after watching this eerie movie.

I highly recommend giving this film a chance.

A Different Theory of Rocky's Admission to Adonis

Rocky vs. Apollo?

Who won?

If you’re a fan of the Rocky movie series, you are more than familiar with Rocky III.  Apollo and Rocky in the same corner working together to defeat Mr. T; how epic was that?  After Rocky beat Mr. T, there was one last fight between Rocky and Apollo behind closed doors. No one knows who won that fight since the movie was released in 1982.  One could speculate either way, but most people had in the back of their minds that Rocky won that fight. With ‘Creed’ being the newest installment in the Rocky franchise (possibly a spin-off in and of itself), that long awaited question has been answered.

This movie is probably the best movie I’ve seen this year and I highly recommend that you see it yourself. That being said, I’m only going to give away one spoiler for the sake of this article.

SPOILER ALERT BELOW:


Rocky confirmed that Apollo won the fight. Even though he confirmed this to Apollo’s son, some theorists believe that he only said this to make Adonis (Apollo’s son) feel better about himself. I have a different theory.

I’ve always believed Apollo won that fight ever since I watched Rocky III and IV. When Rocky and Apollo were sprinting on the beach during the last training session in Rocky III, you could see in Apollo’s face and the way he was running that he was slowing down on purpose so Rocky could pass him. Rocky was training to defeat Mr. T who got in his head, was way stronger than him, and knocked him out in the first round. Now obviously the training paid off and his goal was met. But Apollo wasn’t out of shape, he was there with Rocky every step of the way and more. I believe that because Apollo was in better shape than Rocky, Apollo was better equipped to defeat Rocky at the end of Rocky III and in fact did defeat Rocky.

Rocky IV takes place immediately after Rocky III. No gaps in time at all and this is further evidence why I believe Apollo defeated Rocky. Apollo was so confident he could defeat the Russian because he had just defeated Rocky in their most recent bout. If Apollo had lost, I think he wouldn’t have even thought twice about challenging the Russian. Hell he probably would have told Rocky to go after him. Tell me what you think in the comments.
