It Follows
I can appreciate it on a technical level, but while The Babadook seemed to have a really important lesson about a fundamental part of the human psyche, It Follows just seemed to be about an STD style monster. I didn't really understand what made this so "important" and "thoughtful" to, well, everyone else.
Combined with my utter inability to "get" a number of other movies around here, can anyone put together a common thread demonstrating exactly what part of the human soul I'm missing?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
