Influencers (2025)

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

In the sun-drenched countryside of southern France, CW lives a quiet, idyllic life with her girlfriend Diane, hiding a dark obsession with murder and stolen identities. During an anniversary getaway, they cross paths with Charlotte, a bold, alluring influencer whose curiosity quickly turns intrusive. When CW acts on a violent impulse, the consequences spiral out of control, and as Diane begins to suspect the truth, CW’s carefully constructed life threatens to collapse around her.

Shudder distributes in the US. Shudder SVP Emily Gotto said the following: “Kurtis has once again crafted a film that’s both sharply contemporary and deeply unsettling. INFLUENCERS seduces the viewer with atmosphere and aesthetic before cutting into something darker, smarter, and much more dangerous. It’s exactly the kind of visionary genre storytelling we’re proud to support.”

One of the movie’s producers was quoted saying: “We couldn’t be more excited to share INFLUENCERS with the world. Kurtis has elevated his vision in every way — the film is more elegant, more unsettling, and more twisted. We’re confident it will be one of the most talked-about titles at Cannes.”

Actress Cassandra Naud returns for this sequel.

Director Kurtis David Harder said the following about the movie: “With INFLUENCERS, I wanted to revisit the themes of control and illusion, but from a new angle — one that’s more seductive, more dangerous, and more unhinged. It’s a film that plays with perception. Fans of INFLUENCER will feel something familiar beneath the surface, but the real fun is discovering just how deep those connections run.”

Kurtis David Harder (who co-wrote and directed the first movie) returns.

This is a sequel to 2022’s Influencer.

Influencers premiered on Shudder on December 12, 2025.
