"So you got a horror movie for me?" Producer asked.
"Yessir I do, a little thing called It Follows." Screenwriter pitched the name of the movie.
"What follows?" Producer asked.
"It." Screenwriter said.
"So like Pennywise?"
"No not that It, a different It."
"So then what is it exactly?"
"It's It sir, and it's gonna follow you and kill you."
"But why?"
"Unclear."
"Does it even have a shape like a physical form?" Producer begged for any kind of information.
"Well It sometimes takes the form of a person their target knows or someone completely random." Screenwriter said.
"But does it have like a base form?"
"I don't know." Screenwriter replied.
"You really have zero information of what this creature that follows does?" Producer questioned.
"Well we do know a few things."
"Finally." Producer sighed in relief.
"Like how It moves in a straight line and It never stops until It kills its target."
"So does it like walk through walls or-"
"No it can't go through objects it's not a ghost."
"Then what is it!?!??!"
"Look sir I'm gonna need you to get aaaalllllll the way off my back about what the creature is because it's vagueness is the main source of terror."
"Well okay then I'll get off of that thing, so how does this character come to our screen?"
"Well the main character Jay gets it from doing the nasty with this guy Hugh while on a date." Screenwriter explains the main character becoming a target.
"What?"
"Yeah the entity's hunt can be transferred by passing it onto another person by doing the sideways tango."
"Oh."
"You know the slapping meats part."
"I get it, it's passed on through sex."
"Yeah yeah yeah."
"Oh STDs are tight!"
"Oh my god."
"Yeah I hated that too."
"That's one interpretation of it."
"So how does Jay deal with this new thing that's haunting her every move now?" Producer asked.
"By hardly acknowledging it's even there it's been following her so long it's become a part of her life." Screenwriter explains.
"Wait how long has this thing been following her?"
"Unclear, in scenes she's swimming in a pool and others she's wearing winter clothing."
"Oh very confusing seasonal patterns."
"Yeah and we also have people driving cars from the 70's and others driving modern cars, and one of the characters Yara has a flip shell phone she reads quotes from but everyone uses either a landline or those brick sized phones."
"Wait what's the decade this movie takes place in?"
"Unclear."
"I have no idea what's going on."
"Great so Jay sleeps with this guy Greg who we imply passed it on to a girl, but we never confirmed anything."
"I mean I'd like some kind of confirmation."
"But then Greg is killed by the entity who takes the form of his mom by lethally doing the naughty party with him."
"There is just so much wrong with that."
"Yeah there is, so Jay and the others hatch a plan to lure the entity into a pool and electrocute it."
"And how does that go?"
"Terribly, it's throwing electronics into the water and at Jay and they can't shoot at it because only the target and previous targets can see it."
"Man it's gonna be hard to take down an entity they can't see."
"Actually it's gonna be super easy, barely inconvenience."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah they just put a sheet over the entity which gives Paul a clear target and they escape."
"It is dead?"
"Nope it's back and after Paul and Jay at the end of the movie."
"Oh no."
"So what did you think?" Screenwriter asks the producer.
Producer replied "Well if you're looking for dreadful confusion you certainly got it."
"Amazing and if this works out we can make a sequel, it's horror movie law that each IP must have one follow up."
"Well let's not get ahead of ourselves, the time period and seasonal setting make no sense, there's a lot of uncertainty regarding scenes, and I don't even know where to go from that ambiguous ending."
