Overview
- The 2025 sequel to 2022’s Influencer is now streaming on Shudder, returning to its thriller premise rooted in social-media deception.
- Critics say the film broadens its satire to target toxic online masculinity, true‑crime mobs, and the ways technology obscures identity.
- Reviews applaud Cassandra Naud’s magnetic performance and Harder’s vicious, blackly comic touch, with comparisons to Hitchcock and Coen‑style dark humor.
- Shot on location in France, Thailand, and Bali with a lean, mobile crew, the production draws praise for delivering polished, travelogue-grade visuals on modest resources.
- IndieWire notes the streaming launch is followed by select Alamo Drafthouse theatrical screenings on Dec. 15.
