Nineteen-year-old Jay’s life is serene: school, friends, weekend trips to the lake. Her boyfriend Hugh, whom she loves, is always with her. But something happens to the girl after the first time they make love. She starts to be haunted by strange visions, and by a strange and oppressive feeling that someone, or something, is following her. Jay soon realizes that horror, irrational and unrelenting, is hiding just a few steps away from her and those around her, undermining all security.

Declaration
film director
“The film sprang from a childhood nightmare […] where something is following you. In the nightmare, it was slow but ever-persistent. I dreamt that I was on the playground at school and I saw this other kid walking towards me. And somehow I knew in my dream that this was a monster. I ran away, down a whole block – and then I stood there waiting. After a moment, in the distance, the boy turned the corner and continued following me. This monster could look like anyone – assuming different shapes each time I saw it.”
