The grim absurdity of it goes hand in hand with the horror, making the escalations and chaos properly fun. Read full review

It’s smartly crafted, well-written, and strongly performed. I’m not sure it works as social media commentary, but it undeniably clicks as an entertaining thriller about someone who thinks the Insta-world is shallow enough to hide her sociopathic behavior. Read full review

What Influencer brings to the party lands with a softer impact in the messages it preaches, but that doesn’t prevent a twistier predatory narrative from snagging our attention like a buzzworthy viral sensation. Read full review

Started off promising but loses steam half way. The setup was good but the film then spends its runtime following the villain who isn't very interesting or fleshed out at all. Not knocking the actors they're fine but the script leaves A LOT to be desired. Do yourself a favor and don't wasteStarted off promising but loses steam half way.
