Them That Follow is a 2019 American mystery horror drama film written and directed by Britt Poulton and Dan Madison Savage in their feature directorial debuts. The film stars Olivia Colman, Kaitlyn Dever, Alice Englert, Jim Gaffigan, Walton Goggins, Thomas Mann, and Lewis Pullman. Set in a remote Pentecostal community in Appalachia, it follows Mara Childs (Englert), a woman who, while being courted for marriage by parishioner Garret (Pullman), discovers she is pregnant with the child of her former lover Augie Slaughter (Mann), forcing her to keep both the affair and her pregnancy a secret from her pastor father Lemuel (Goggins), her friend Dilly Picket (Dever), and Augie's parents Hope (Colman) and Zeke (Gaffigan).

Them That Follow premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 27, 2019, where it was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize. The film was theatrically released in the United States on August 2, 2019, to mixed reviews from critics.
