This make me want to watch The Babadook and Synecdoche, NY again.
It Follows is, of course, another gift of the amazing Canada Netflix. Ex-Machina, too, I saw on Netflix Canada though I didn't like that so much. I like your theory of effective fiction. I'd like to carry it around in my pocket, I like it so much. It's not far from what Wallace (I know, your favorite) was always on about and connects to his idea of art applying CPR to things that are still alive and magical despite the darkness of the worldview. I was thinking of that every time the kids in It Follows jumped into a car and just drove.
