"Influencer" packs most of its punch in its first 26 minutes.

| Original Score: B- | Feb 26, 2025

I’m not sure if I audibly declared “Oh, yeah!” but I can’t say for sure that I didn’t.

| Original Score: B | Aug 19, 2024

Whilst there is definitely the bones of a taut and conceptual thriller, Influencer seems to be missing the meat to make it a fully worthwhile watch.

| Jul 9, 2024

Influencer sees through the all-too-common and frankly dull Gen X critique of social media influencers as an occupation emblematic of social decline or capitalistic excess (which is true, but nonetheless a tired critique).

| Jul 5, 2024

In diving headfirst into the horrors of the social media economy, director Kurtis David Harder delivers a lean and effective story that remembers to critique the game more so than the players trapped within it.

| May 9, 2024

Director and co-writer Kurtis David Harder (“Summerland”) creates a lush and gorgeous film that will make his audience want to jump into the screen and join the characters regardless of the looming danger.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 16, 2023

A captivating central performance does its best to elevate this otherwise serviceable social media horror.

| Original Score: 65/100 | Jul 27, 2023

A smart, savvy thriller anchored by star Cassandra Naud's magnetic performance. The way the film uses her natural birthmark is particularly innovative, as are the multiple shifts in perspective that help to keep the story fresh.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 21, 2023

There’s a lot to love about Influencer, however that just makes its flaws all the more frustrating.

| Jun 22, 2023

A horrific reality check for those lost in the monetised sauce of the internet’s digital fakery.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 16, 2023

Where’s she from? What’s that giant chip on her shoulder? Harder and Tesh Guttikonda’s script can’t be bothered—beyond giving her a large facial birthmark that presumably “explains” why she hates all these globetrotting, selfie-taking pretty people.

It zigged everytime I thought it would zag.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 9, 2023

Influencer is a meticulously crafted, gripping mystery sure to keep audiences guessing.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Jun 7, 2023

Influencer is a nice mix of psychological thrillers like Single White Female and Hand That Rocks the Cradle, with a modern social media spin. Cassandra Naud delivers a compelling performance, despite wanting a little more from the character.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 5, 2023

[It's] a tense, fun little thriller that takes some unexpected turns.

| Jun 2, 2023

More than anything, Influencer is just fun, primarily for the strong performances but also for the beautiful locations and general disdain for influencers of all kinds. They may not deserve to die, but they still suck.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 2, 2023

Just when you think you know where Influencer is going, it pulls a switcheroo, playing into tropes (yes, there is a "no cell service" moment) while also setting you on edge...

| Jun 1, 2023

What awaits you is a mystery in a beautiful landscape sprinkled with some intense kills and anxiety-inducing scenarios.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jun 1, 2023

Influencer isn’t likely to make anyone want to become a vlogger or go on an exotic vacation, but it holds our attention and keeps us guessing throughout.

| Original Score: B | May 31, 2023

Influencer has very good acting in each of the roles, even if most of the characters lack a certain depth that would make the story and conflicts that much better.
