Influencer

I went into this expecting something poorly acted, predictable, and boring. Instead I got a pretty good movie that was filmed professionally, with very solid acting, and a plot that maybe was predictable with the broad strokes, but not in the details. I've watched a lot of bad movies lately and this is not one of them. If you're not looking for a Pan's Labyrinth type masterpiece and just want a fun movie, check out Influencer! It's much better than the normal Shudder faire.

In addition to the professional look of the movie, we get some spectacular settings (I suspect working on this movie was pretty great). Cast was small but all more than up to the task. Not a deep thinker of a movie, but a fun one nonetheless. Definitely worth a watch, enjoy.

Actually, i was expecting a movie like heyyy i have come here to sit and have a snack while watching this chill movie. But hell no !

The first thing that caught my interest is how tyland is wonderful but it's not the main thing. Also, the movie actually starts around the middle.

I'm not the person that usually finish every movie like that. Because when my snacks over, my eyes suddenly want to be closed. But no no no sir. I didn't need well rested eyes. My eyes want to be know whats next, whats next ?

So i doubled my snacks then concentrate. ( Yea i'm fat ) but totally worth it.

My rate is not 10 but nice 7.

The movie itself it's quite interesting till the last 10 minutes that ruined everything. Are you serious?

I don't understand why Independent cinema can't be more original or risky.

First, the movie starts strong with a non original story but acting is decent and the landscapes are beautiful. So, overall good setting to start.

Second, the script is acceptable and credible most of the parts, but the last 10 minutes ruined everything including credibility, originality or any possible great score here. Honestly, I drastically changed my mind after watching how this movie ends.

So, overall the movie is watchable and forgettable as an Instagram post from any fake influencer. A wasted opportunity. It could have been far better with a real and authentic conclusion.

I'm about to hop in...

Pros:

-Great story

-Great development

-OK, but not great acting

-Found it fascinating that there was a 30 min preface to the film.

-Great length, not over the top short or long, it's perfect.

Cons (or my thought process didn't fit in)

-Being marked a "Horror" is simply not it. There are no repulsiveness components to it nor even close. This is a decent spine chiller that you've most certainly seen from different titles, harking back to the 80 and 90s.

-Fairly unsurprising, albeit, the promotion and climate of the film were finished.

• It's a low financial plan. Presently there is nothing amiss with it. It might have had a superior possibility of being a hit in the cinema world in the event that there were Elite actors playing this.

-The completion was simply somewhat lost and disregarded. Might have finished way more astute than it really did.

Outline: It's agreeable, it's tempting, it keeps you honest till the end and you will love watching it.

I haven't had a great run with Shudder films recently. I haven't enjoyed one in a while and so seeing that brand attached to a film was starting to become a disappointing warning sign. I am happy to say that 'Influencer' has gone a little way towards redeeming the brand. This was a fun ride.

I was a little bit worried early on during the set up when we were meeting an "influencer" and seeing all the pretentious and fake photo-shoots and blog posts. I was worried that was going to be a hard protagonist to root for. Then the film became something else entirely and it went down a very enjoyable and dark route.

I love it when a film feels like it has any ending on the cards. It doesn't matter whether it ends up being the darkest of dark endings or a happy ending or something in between. All that matters is that it feels like the film is capable of delivering the full spectrum and 'Influencer' had that feel about it.

I love it when you go into a film without overly high expectations and it then proceeds to prove you wrong at every turn. 'Influencer' was exactly that and I would highly recommend it. 8/10.
