Jason talks with Alex Steed – host of Nashville Demystified and Why Are Dads?, writer, and co-founder of Knack-Factory – about the 2014 “prestige horror” movie, It Follows. They discuss both the overt and subtle themes of the film, the impetus for new directors to steer towards horror and how twisting genre tropes can be done in surprisingly rewarding ways.
Oh, and some fun trivia about John Carpenter and the difference in scoring films now versus the 1970s.
