• 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.
