“Influencer” (** out of four) was a beautifully shot but empty suspense thriller about a social media blogger (Emily Tennant) who goes on a backpacking trip through Thailand and meets a young woman (Cassandra Naud) who is a carefree and free-spirit and they embark on their trip together and develop a bond but she soon realizes that this other woman has developed a fixation on her that soon might turn fatal. Well-directed by Kurtis David Harder and relatively well-acted but can’t overcome film’s thuddingly obvious and predictable screenplay also co-written by Harder. David Schuurman’s vibrant cinematography on authentic Thailand locales is an undeniable standout but the film won’t likely develop much of an “influence” of its own.
