Influencers Unfollowed: Kurtis David Harder’s Sequel Serves a Bloody Brilliant Feed

Influencers

Influencers is a 2025 horror thriller film written and directed by Kurtis David Harder. It is a sequel to the film Influencer, starring Cassandra Naud reprising her role from the first film, with Georgina Campbell, Lisa Delamar, Jonathan Whitesell, Veronica Long, and Dylan Playfair also starring.

Director: Kurtis David Harder

Cinematography: David Schuurman

That little smile. It’s been three years, but that flicker on CW’s face, Cassandra Naud just owning the screen, stuck with you. A quiet promise of more chaos to come. Well, buckle up. Kurtis David Harder, the guy behind the camera, gets it. He’s got this knack, not for preaching about the horrors of our digital lives, but for just letting the camera sit there in the mess of it all. You might know him from Spiral, that slow-burn suburban nightmare, or The Oak Room, where a barroom story spirals into something else entirely. He’s good with tension, with the stories we tell and the lies they cover.

So Influencers. This isn’t just some rehash. CW’s trying, supposedly. Settled down with Diane, actually letting her picture get taken. But come on. You can’t take the mischief out of the girl. A chance meeting with a travel influencer, and it’s all over. The old habits, the charming manipulation, the… well, the bloody tracks to cover. Harder throws in a toxic bro blogger and brings back Madison with a vengeance, because what’s social media without a few frenemies?

Influencers Unfollowed: Kurtis David Harder’s Sequel Serves a Bloody Brilliant Feed, A Horror Movie Review by George Wolf

If you saw Influencer three years ago, no doubt you noticed that little smile from CW (Cassandra Naud) in the final shot. If, like me, you were hoping that meant she’d find a way to stir up more social media mischief, it’s a merry Christmas for both of us.

CW has quieted down a bit since we left her on that island, settling down enough with girlfriend Diane (Lisa Delamar) to let her guard down and actually pose for photos. But an encounter with a travel influencer (Georgina Campbell) lures CW back to her old ways, and it isn’t long before she has more bloody tracks to cover.

Again, writer/director Kurtis David Harder has good instincts for knowing what questions we’re asking as this world wide web gets more tangled, and for keeping the beats relevant to the changing landscape of social media.

The introduction of toxic bro blogger Jacob (Jonathan Whitesell) feels right on time, as does the re-introduction of Madison (Emily Tennant), who now has even more scores to settle with old frenemy CW.

Naud gives another terrific performance, as CW remains a smart, slippery and ever intriguing mystery girl. Dancing in and around more gorgeously framed locales, CW makes it fun to try and guess what she’ll do next. What’s even more fun? The fact that we’re not prepared for just how batshit things get in act three.

Harder’s observational nature about social media never feels like finger-wagging, and the continually rising stakes of mystery, mayhem and fun land Influencers as another lethal blast of engagement.
