The atmosphere is tense, almost suffocating at times, as these young women chase that fleeting moment of online fame—only to find themselves in a real-life horror. The pacing keeps you on edge; it’s like a modern twist on classic slasher tropes. The performances feel authentic, capturing that mix of ambition and naivety that a lot of influencers have. And it’s interesting how it explores darker themes of obsession and the cost of fame. Practical effects bring some visceral moments, which is always a plus.
