Join us for an exclusive Rio Grind Film Festival screening of writer-director Kurtis David Harder‘s INFLUENCERS, the follow-up to his 2022 horror drama, INFLUENCER.

In the sun-drenched countryside of southern France, CW (Cassandra Naud, reprising her role from the first installment)  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. With Emily Tennant, Georgina Campbell, Lisa Delamar, Jonathan Whitesell, Veronica Long, Dylan Playfair.

“Kurtis David Harder’s ‘Influencers’ is a near-perfect horror sequel.” (Dread Central)

“‘Influencer’ worked well as a standalone film, but ‘Influencers’ is a great sequel that takes the series in a fun, satirical, and often deliciously mean new direction.” (Bloody Disgusting)

“An easy, breezy, and beautiful sequel that retains all the magic ingredients of the first, whilst stirring in some fresh meaty morsels, ‘Influencers’ is a sun-soaked thrill trip that you’ll want to return to again, and again and again.” (THN)
