10 years later, this masterpiece of horror cinema will have a highly anticipated sequel



Continued : this horrible wonder

This is the kind of announcement we didn’t expect. However, the American independent production and distribution company Neon dropped a small bomb by announcing the sequel toContinued. Presented for the first time at the Cannes Film Festival in 2014 in the Critics’ Week selection, before winning the International Critics Award at the 2014 Deauville American Film Festival, the horror film Continued arrived in our theaters in early 2015. We then discovered it a true gem of horror cinema driven by an ingenious concept.

The story ofContinued takes place in Detroit and follows a group of teenagers. The heroine Jay, after making love with her boyfriend, wakes up tied to a wheelchair. His partner then admits that he He put a curse on him. From now on, she will be the only one to see a strange creature that takes the form of old people and who will walk towards her until you kill her. To get rid of this curse, Jay will have to make love to someone to pass it on to.

The great strength ofContinued it’s the atmosphere offered by David Mitchell. With its bluish aesthetic, there is a sometimes dreamlike sensation in this almost ghostly Detroit. The soundtrack of Disasterpeace also participates. While the director proposes an intelligent staging to create a feeling of anxiety rather than fear with an amount of jump. The idea of ​​a danger invisible to everyone, and which will never end, is finally a brilliant proposal. And there is of course an obvious, but useful subtext Puritan America.

Maika Monroe and David Robert Mitchell reunite for They follow

Neon then announced this suite titled They follow. On the first teaser poster we read “It’s everywhere”, suggesting that there will no longer be a single entity following a character, but many more. David Robert Mitchell returned to direct and write. But most of all, Maika Monroewhich we discovered with Continued, it is confirmed that he will reprise his role as Jay. The actress, who we particularly like, has been seen in other rather interesting genre films. Alongside Timothée Chalamet Warm summer nights (2019), or recently in Observer (2022).

They follow should come in in production in 2024. No release date has been indicated at this time.
