Deinfluencer

Found this in a thrift store, thought I'd give it a chance.

It turned out to be a very low if no budget movie. However, the story was pretty captivating in terms of suspense, and motive of the perpetrator. The script was certainly well written with some intelligent dialogue.

The acting was shaky at times though, the sound quality of the dialogue was murky at times. Cinematography was good, the lighting was excellent.

The movie lives through the unclear characters and developments throughout the story, though some suspension of disbelief is needed.

I think the message was the best thing about it.

Watch this if you have no problem with no budget productions, and hate social media and superficial influencers - it's certainly a concept that hadn't been done, and had to be done.

The lack of realism in this horror movie makes it uninteresting and tedious to watch. I tried to stay focused on the movie but lost interest and forced myself to finish the movie.

Based on the repetitive scenery, I get the impression that this is a low-budget movie.

The action that unfolded was not portrayed in a realistic manner, resulting in me rolling my eyes in disbelief.

If you are someone who enjoys horror movies, you may find that this particular film does not provide the same level of horror that you typically enjoy when watching a horror movie.

It was hard to finish. I love horror films but this movie wasn't for me.

So lemme just get this right....

A grown ass middle aged man kidnaps and tortures a teenage girl/influencer in order to teach her a lesson about being a teenage girl/influencer who acts like a teenage girl/influencer.

Copious amounts of torture porn lite, mansplaining, and gaslighting ensue and it's ok it's fine everyone don't even worry because he's doing it all for her own good! He is saving her from herself! Really, he is a man of honor as long as you are a teenage girl he will save you with kidnapping, harassment, abuse, a strong fist, and tough love!

But he'll do it all behind a clown mask of course.

This is a very poor attempt at making a thriller movie centred around social media and the dangers of how it affect others. I've been a fan of Simon Phillips for a while (Jack Says, The Last Scout, Stealing Chaplin) but I feel like he has fallen flat a little with this one. Weak storytelling and acting from the girls was a little underwhelming with their performances. I hear that there's going to be a sequel to this thriller which I am surprised to hear about. Can't imagine anyone asking for a continuation with the Charles character and him continuing on with his sick fantasies. Nah it's a miss for me.

Of a man gone mad over the new era ,private and professional, digital and social media influencers, the gurus of the internet, a hate towards the selfienation en masse'.

Kidnapped, being hurt and freezed out, she finds hope in the other end of the rope when a fellow influencer, also held in captive shows up in the girls ''cell''. This leads to a battle that may end in freedome or catastrophic death...

its a small cast, noedigital nouvelle , a story about how modern society has become, a digital war of the influencing world, its not much new on the market, and follows the rules of the genre, the acting is merely average, and the sets are few and not very much challenging, a studioproduction that doesnt impress that much...

so if you are like me, having difficulties swallowing the message of these newage dramas, its not a buster on the block, if you understand a grumpy old man. Just a tiny tiny recommend.
