Influencer

Thriller
Beschikbaar voor VOD: 25 mei 2023
Regie: Kurtis David Harder
Cast: Emily Tennant (Juno, Jennifer's Body, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants), Cassandra Naud (Snowpiercer), Sara Canning (The Vampire Diaries)

Influencer Madison verwent haar Instagramvolgers met fraaie foto's en gelikte quotes van haar Thailandtrip die … geestdodend saai is. Tot de eenzame online celeb bevriend raakt met CW, een backpackster die een nieuwe wereld voor haar opent. Maar op een godvergeten eiland neemt haar avontuur een duistere wending…

Met Influencer levert regisseur Kurtis David Harder (Spiral) een sensuele, exotische en visueel verbluffende thriller af. Daarin verwerkt hij niet alleen de unheimliche atmosfeer van films als The Vanishing en The Beach, maar legt hij ook de angsten, leegheid en toenemende isolatie achter  online roem en sociale media bloot.

Reviews
  • Cinedump.com: What a ride! Influencer is special, and if I didn't know any better, I'd say Adrian Lyne was involved. Takes all of the beats from your favorite 90s thriller and executes them with ease!
  • Joshatthemovies.com: I was surprised by many of the film’s twists and turns.  Just when I thought I had it all figured out, there would be another titanic shift in the structure.
  • Wickedhorror.com: This is a brutal and incisive look at social media addiction but the scariest thing about Influencer might just be how it reflects our own online obsession back at us.
  • Nightmarishconjurings.com: Cassandra Naud gives a hypnotic performance and, combined with the rest of the cast and unexpected turns, makes Influencer an entertaining cautionary tale.
  • Thehollywoodnews.com: This is a zippy sun-soaked thriller that rewards the viewer with its spellbinding blend of glitz, glamour, and mystery.
  • Filmfreakcentral.net: The cast is exceptional. And there are plots galore: crosses and double-crosses; heists and murders most foul; and at the end of all that, one of those little movie smiles where an antagonist recognizes the brilliance of a mortal enemy and steels themselves for another round of chicanery. Influencers is strong stuff and a calling card.
  • Projectedfigures.com: a deft merger of George Sluizer’s The Vanishing and Danny Boyle’s The Beach, Influencer follows the anxiety, emptiness and increasing isolation of online celebrity.
