Influenza

About This Movie

So, 'Influenza' is an interesting blend of horror and social commentary. You’ve got this young journalist, Mia, who dives into the murky waters of influencer culture at a seminar led by this enigmatic coach, Sebastian Kraft. The atmosphere is tense, almost suffocating, as the group, eager for success, spirals into chaos. The pacing is really effective; it builds up slowly, letting you soak in the unsettling vibe before things take a dark turn. Practical effects stand out, especially in depicting the psychological unraveling of the characters. I found the themes of obsession and the superficiality of online fame to be quite striking, giving the film an edge. Performances are solid, capturing the desperation of the characters well. It’s a unique take, different from your standard horror flick.
