Jordan Peele mentioned the film It Follows and its unique horror of a slow-moving threat, which influenced a scene in his film Get Out, where a character runs directly at the camera lens.
Oh, there's another movie I really liked, It Follows, which I thought was so terrific.

And part of that scene where Walter is running straight out, I believe, if I'm not mistaken, I was thinking, well, what I love about the energy of It Follows is anything in any movie that comes from the back of the house towards you is doing the ultimate in film illusion.
