“You don’t get lonely traveling all alone?”
Influencers premiered on Shudder on December 12th 2025. The horror-thriller sequel stars Cassandra Naud, Emily Tennant, Georgina Campbell, Veronica Long, and Jonathan Whitesell. It runs for approximately an hour and fifty minutes.
After the events of Influencer, CW is enjoying carefree life in the south of France with her girlfriend, but when they go away for the weekend she meets a new social media influencer who gets under her skin as the old CW quickly returns.
Here is the trailer:
Influencers takes things further than the original film, proving to be even more shocking and bloodier than before with two dynamic female leads at the center of it all. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…
The Pros:
Cassandra Naud is incredible!
She was fantastic in the original film, which I watched recently again to get ready for the sequel, but she took things up a notch in the sequel. She was an unstoppable force of nature. I loved how unhinged she was. It really complimented the overall tone of the film so well, mirroring the camp of it all in such a wild way. I enjoyed every second of it.
Emily Tennant was fabulous as well and kept up with her. Honestly I expected nothing less after that insane ending, but wow these two were amazing.
There will be no spoilers in this review, but can we somehow get a third film out of this? I’ll be waiting…
Finds its identity and OWNS it!
I loved the first film. I thought it was such a fresh take on the social media angle, which I have seen butchered to death by other films. However, after watching the first film again, it seemed like it was still finding its way even though it was terrific overall.
Well, I can definitely report that the sequel found its identity and just went for it in the best way possible. This film didn’t hold back at all. It was bold, extreme, and so incredible to watch unfold on the screen. I loved how campy and cunty it was. Honestly, I was surprised by how well executed this sequel was and that ending…wow! It was incredible.
There was so much buildup after the first film and I thought the sequel did an amazing job of giving the audience what they were craving.
The Cons:
A few unanswered questions.
I know this was intentional, but I had a few lingering questions by the time I got to the end. There was one that stood out the most and they even poked fun at it during the film, but I need to know what happened there! I’m hoping we get a prequel as well with some of these answers because I am officially obsessed with these films!
So am I in or out?
I’m in 100 percent!!!
INFLUENCERS is a satisfying sequel that doesn’t hold back, delivering on camp, gore, and insane moments galore.
One of my favorite films of the year!
I’m a big fan of the vacation gone wrong genre and this one just moved to the top of that list. Bring on the third film!
