‘The Haunting of Hill House’ Director Mike Flanagan Calls This Hidden Streaming Gem “A very clever thriller”

Filmmaker Mike Flanagan has a Shudder account and is not afraid to use it. At least, that is what his most recent tweet has taught us. It seems as though Flanagan took part in a Shudder Saturday like most of us this weekend. He checked out a movie called Influencer and had such a good time that he told Twitter immediately.

Mike had lots of praise for the director and cast of the movie, and he told his followers to catch it while it was still streaming. He also called the project “A very clever thriller” while writing about how much he enjoyed watching this title.

Are you unfamiliar with Influencer but want to be more like Mike Flanagan? Then allow me to share some information about this Instagram-worthy movie with you. 

In the film,

“Influencer tells the story of Madison (Emily Tennant, Riverdale), a popular social media influencer who is having a lonely and uneventful trip in Thailand despite what she tells her followers on Instagram. While reflecting on her boyfriend canceling the trip, she meets CW (Cassandra Naud, See), a fearless and enigmatic traveler who offers to take her to some of the most Instagram-worthy locations. Together they share authentic meals and drinks with locals, discussing the differences between Madison’s online presence and CW’s lack of one. After showing Madison all of the amazing sights, things take a different turn when CW brings her to a surprise location — a deserted island that is completely off the grid.”

Influencer was directed by Kurtis David Harder. It was written by Kurtis David Harder, Tesh Guttikonda, Kurtis David Harder, and Tesh Guttikonda.

In my review of the movie, I praised cinematographer David Schuurman’s work on the project. I wrote that I would like to see him and director Kurtis David Harder team up again on a different script.
