Influencers Hits Shudder Dec. 12 With Sleek Social-Media Thrills

Early reviews spotlight Cassandra Naud's performance ahead of the Shudder debut.

Overview

  • The sequel to 2022's Influencer continues CW's story and premieres on Shudder on December 12.
  • Critics praise Cassandra Naud's commanding turn and Kurtis David Harder's stylish direction, while noting mid-section pacing issues and a longer runtime.
  • The narrative relocates to France and Indonesia, reveals CW's life in Paris with girlfriend Diane, and sets up a tense cat-and-mouse with Madison.
  • The film broadens its satire to target manosphere figures through a new character, Jacob, alongside fresh portrayals of influencer culture.
  • Harder shot on location with a mobile crew of under 15 across France and Bali and employed a 'blind editing' first assembly by Rob Grant, who cut without reading the script.
