Based on kid me who hasn't seen it again since, Fire In The Sky.

A more recent one, It Follows, not because it's some groundbreaking horror or amazing movie, but the dread of a force so unstoppable and inevitable that you can't get away from it no matter what you do is what makes it scary to me. I had dreams after watching it where something is chasing me but I can't remember even looking back or seeing it. And you know how running in dreams works right? It doesn't. So I had to do the grab the ground and pull yourself forward move to run away. Anyone who has tried running in their dream knows what I'm talking about.
