It's the latter. If I recall it's either theorized or implied she's also the one who leaves the door to the box of previous victims open for Chris to find.

That explains a lot. He can even take a long tracking shot of approaching a dock and make it disturbing instead of boring.

I cannot overstate how good The Shining is. I'd only ever seen it secondhand through the memes because I was too young to remember it and it was just a fabulous movie to sit through. Mr Grady in the bathroom still creeps me out.

I'm a fan of whoever did Shutter Island. The claustrophobic and foreboding atmosphere of that movie was brilliant.

I can only think of a couple off the top of my head and the first is debatable as to how it falls on the comedic/drama scale.

In Big Fish Edward meets the love of his life and comments that people are right about time standing still, but they don't tell you it compensates by moving extra fast to catch up and she leaves before he ever has a chance to ask who she is or even talk to her.

In Cube 2: Hypercube a couple of the group members end up in a trap room with accelerated time and wind up aging into skeletons while having sex.

Hah they aren't for everyone. I actually thought this was about my other comment in another post on It Follows initially lol

Mine's probably one of the corny romantic comedies I've seen like Imagine Me and You. Not because they're cinematic masterpieces but because I'm a sucker for a good love story.

It's probably telling that my first reaction to this was "what movie is this?". I don't even recall seeing it being advertised in Australia.
