Get set to explore the darker side of being an influencer. Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium streaming service for horror, thrillers and the supernatural, has revealed the official trailer for upcoming indie thriller film Influencer. f
From Shudder alumnus, writer/director Kurtis David Harder (Harpoon, Superhost, V/H/S 94), the film premiered at Brooklyn Horror Film Festival last year and played various festivals, winning multiple awards. Influencer will make its exclusive streaming debut Friday, May 26 on Shudder and will also be available to stream on AMC+.
The film tells the story of Madison (Emily Tennant, Riverdale), a popular social media influencer who is having a lonely and uneventful trip in Thailand despite what she tells her followers on Instagram. While reflecting on her boyfriend canceling the trip, she meets CW (Cassandra Naud, See), a fearless and enigmatic traveler who offers to take her to some of the most Instagram-worthy locations. Together they share authentic meals and drinks with locals, discussing the differences between Madison’s online presence and CW’s lack of one. After showing Madison all of the amazing sights, things take a different turn when CW brings her to a surprise location – a deserted island that is completely off the grid.
