“The whole thing reeks like a bad made-for-TV movie,” an opportunistic podcaster says halfway through the horror sequel Influencers. In the moment, he’s being manipulatively dismissive of a guest whose outlandish story he previously claimed he believed. But his description of what’s happening in the movie isn’t wrong. On its face, a pair of streaming movies about a young woman who insinuates herself into the lives of online influencers and then murders them feels like the 21st-century equivalent of a tawdry yet network-approved Movie of the Week. The wild thing about Influencers is how much better it is than plenty of its competition, regardless of screen size. It’s the kind of thriller that should give other movies a bad case of FOMO.
