They made a fantastic movie about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Follows
I spent days in my youth contemplating how I would evade that thing.
Ultimately, I determined that my best bet was to fly halfway around the world and have sex with a prostitute. Then fly back home.
The thing would start by following me around the world, which would take a long time for it to catch up. But ordinarily that would just give me enough time to grow complacent and let my guard down.
But by having sex with a sex worker, not only do I get the thing off my back, allowing me to travel back home, but the sex worker would also have sex with other customers, meaning the thing would go after them, or anyone that the other customer has sex with before it reaches them. And even if it managed to get everyone all the way back up that chain, chances are in that time the sex worker would have sex with someone else and the process would start anew. Especially if it's in a sex tourism location, where clients come and go from around the world.
Based on the time it takes for that thing to go to and from all the various locations, it think it's safe enough to let my guard down and forget about it and just hope that it never comes back to me. At least as long as that sex worker lives.
I think you ment to link this trailer.
