As he told Vulture, "It allows people to make up their own mind of what it means."Įveryone around Bateman is as horrible as he is, save for the murderous tendencies-and Bateman may not even be a real murderer. As for the ambiguity of that last shot? Totally intentional. As he's said in multiple interviews, he was originally inspired by a nightmare in which he knew he was being followed, knew he couldn't get away, and knew the people with him in the nightmare weren't able to help him. Mitchell has only hinted at his personal point of view on the scene depicting the spirit's possible "death," but he's made it clear that he never set out to make a movie with a literal meaning, or one whose antagonist's motives were ever explained. Like plenty of thought-provoking cinema, much of It Follows is open to interpretation.
In the film's final shot, the duo walk down a street while someone (or some thing?) follows behind. After the climactic conflict, Jay and her friend Paul (Keir Gilchrist) have sex.and later, Paul's seen driving past a group of prostitutes. One thing leads to another, and ultimately, she and her friends try killing it, with generally unpleasant (not to mention ambiguous) results. Jay's told the only way she can escape the evil spirit (which haunts her in some truly terrifying ways) is by sleeping with someone else to pass it on.
But Mitchell uses it as the setup for a pretty devilish little film. If that sounds ridiculous, well, it kinda is on its face.
