Deinfluencer

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.

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.

Forget all reviews, I am a movie freak who has seen well over 10 000 movies. This movie has obvious scenarios but lots of hidden twists. The small cast performs well and believable. Yes I figured out plot twist, so I thought. Great movie because i.was wrong. So basic plot is someone is kidnapped, social media influencer, and has to reach a certain amount of likes to survive, intact, til next like amount. The whole movie is an overexagerated emotional engagement, that if we're not true, wouldn't be as engaging. It makes you reevaluate the importance of fake friends on social media and whether or not social media is good or bad.

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.

The movie starts off strong but quickly goes downhill with poorly storyline, poor writing and crummy directing.

Early on, it becomes tedious to watch, due to the really bad sense of timing the director has. It's slower than mollasses and I lost total interest before 20 minutes were gone.

It's THAT bad.

The plot is just miserable and unrealistic. The guy who plays the maniac is decent but he has a one dimensional character.

Kelly on th eotherhand is annoying and completely not based in reality.

The peripheral girls areall really bad actors.

In the end the writing is really really moronic. It's like it's written by someone who had a message but not the intellect to translate that into a story.
