Influence

About This Movie

So, 'Influence' dives into the murky waters of social media fame—definitely a different take on the typical influencer narrative. It’s got this unsettling vibe, almost voyeuristic, especially as the stepsister barges in, exposing layers of deception and desperation. The pacing feels deliberate, building tension through awkward pauses and sharp dialogue that reveals uncomfortable truths. The raw performances, especially from the stepsister, bring a certain authenticity that’s hard to shake off. Practical effects take a backseat here, but the psychological unraveling is where it shines. Themes of identity and the cost of online personas are explored, making it a thought-provoking watch, albeit not in a traditional thriller sense.
