Her sister and friend Paul(Keir Gilchrist) stay with her to make sure she is okay. The window gets broken but there is nobody there. Jay looks around the house. She sees a girl walking towards her. She thinks that she is going crazy. She sees a strange man in the house and she runs off. She and her friends drive around. They go to an old run down house. Jay goes to school and she sees a picture of Hugh in the yearbook. His real name is Jeff. She goes to his house. He tells her that 'it' is following her. He says that it is not done with him yet. He tells her that he picked up the curse from a girl in a bar.

Jay and her friends go to a place away from the city to hide from 'it'. While they are there, something pulls at Jay. Nobody else can see it. She gets a gun and shoots at it but she can't kill it. She sees more people coming. She jumps into the car and drives off but ends up crashing and going to hospital. Jay has sex with her friend Greg. He doesn't see anything following him at first. But, at night he walks around. He goes to his house and breaks the window with a rock. He goes into his room and it goes into his mother who proceeds to kill him. The group want to set up a trap for the evil it. They go to the local swimming pool and fill it with electrical appliances hoping to kill it. Jay gets into the pool and lures it in. Their plan doesn't work but Paul ends up shooting it in the head and seemingly killing it. Afterward, Jay and Paul have sex and walk off together. There is someone behind them but we don't know if it is the evil come back.

I didn't love this movie at all. It started well and I liked the beginning but as it went on, it slowed right down. There were some parts in it that were creepy, but it wasn't really for me.
I thought that the movie wasn't very scary on the whole and that it was very slow in parts. There wasn't enough happening for me. So, all in all, this was an okay movie with just enough to keep me watching, but I would not watch it again. I will give it a 5/10.
