Shudder, the premium streaming service for horror, thrillers, and the supernatural, has announced the release of its new indie thriller film, Influencer. The film’s trailer and key art were unveiled, featuring writer/director Kurtis David Harder’s latest project after hits such as ‘Harpoon’, ‘Superhost’ and ‘V/H/S 94’. The thriller will exclusively debut on Shudder on May 26, and will also be available for streaming on AMC+.

Influencer follows Madison (Emily Tennant), a social media influencer who is having a lonely and dull trip in Thailand despite portraying a perfect life on Instagram. Madison meets the enigmatic CW (Cassandra Naud), who offers to take her to the most Instagram-worthy spots in the area. They indulge in authentic Thai food and drinks with the locals while discussing their different lives – Madison’s online presence and CW’s lack of one. However, things take a dark turn when CW brings Madison to a deserted island that is completely off the grid.

Shot on location in Thailand, Influencer is produced by Kurtis David Harder, Tesh Guttikonda (co-writer), Brandon Christensen, Jack Campbell and Micah Henry. The film premiered at the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival last year, and has won multiple awards at various festivals. Influencer also stars Sara Canning (The Vampire Diaries) and Rory J. Saper (The Legend of Tarzan).
