It would be pretty understandable to initially assume “It Feeds,” a new horror movie added to Hulu this week, was a sequel to “It Follows,” the modern classic chiller released in 2014. The two movies even share a common narrative trait: Both focus on a sinister entity working its way back down a list of victims once the current “host” has been dealt with.

Unfortunately, “It Feeds” is not a follow-up to one of my favorite horror movies of the 2010s (though, as an aside, “It Follows 2” is in development). Instead, “It Feeds” is a different beast. And while it lacks the substance and texture of the so-called “elevated horror” subgenre, it still offers plenty of scares for horror-obsessives and a twisted sense of tension.
