Kurtis David Harder Returns with Influencers — A Sunlit Sequel of Obsession and Identity Coming to Shudder December 12

 Cassandra Naud returns as C.W. in Kurtis David Harder’s Influencers, streaming on Shudder December 12.

Not to be outdone or left behind before the end of the 2025 film cycle, filmmaker Kurtis David Harder (Spiral, V/H/S/94) returns with Influencers, the slick and sinister follow-up to his 2022 sleeper hit Influencer.

The film marks Harder’s return to his carefully curated world of manipulation, deceit, and identity theft — this time expanding his psychological playground to the sun-drenched countryside of southern France. Shudder dropped a new killer trailer today, teasing a stylishly twisted continuation that feels equal parts seductive and savage.

Influencers will stream exclusively on Shudder starting December 12, with the original 2022 film currently available on Shudder and AMC+.

Synopsis

In the sunlit calm of southern France, C.W. (Cassandra Naud) lives a quiet life with her girlfriend Diane (Lisa Delamar), concealing a dangerous obsession with murder and stolen identities. During an anniversary getaway, they cross paths with Charlotte (Georgina Campbell) — a bold and curious influencer whose charm quickly turns invasive. When C.W. acts on a violent impulse, her carefully constructed life begins to unravel, and as Diane starts piecing together the truth, a deadly reckoning looms.

Directed and written by Kurtis David Harder, Influencers stars Cassandra Naud, Emily Tennant reprising her role as Madison, Georgina Campbell, Lisa Delamar, Jonathan Whitesell, Veronica Long, and Dylan Playfair.

Like its predecessor, Influencers thrives on style, precision, and psychological unease — a slow-burn nightmare drenched in beauty and blood. Harder shifts from Thailand’s tropical danger to the French Riviera’s quiet menace, creating a world where luxury and paranoia coexist under one flawless filter.

Cassandra Naud’s return as C.W. is nothing short of riveting — her performance continues to define one of horror’s most fascinating new anti-heroines. The film plays with deception and parasocial voyeurism in the influencer age, but Harder’s approach never loses its human pulse — every cut, every sunlit frame, every kill feels calculated.

Harder once again proves his knack for aesthetic dread. This sequel doesn’t just expand his world — it sharpens it. Influencers is a haunting reminder that no matter where you hide, or how perfectly you frame your life online, someone’s always watching.

Catch Influencers exclusively on Shudder, December 12, 2025.
