Influencer's Trip Turns Terrifying in Copenhagen
1 Oct
Summary
- Content creator Chiara King faces a stalker while filming in Copenhagen.
- The movie parallels online harassment with the creator's horror content.
- Themes include influencer exploitation and masked identities online.
A found-footage horror film titled "The Influencer Project" follows content creator Chiara King, who is documenting her sponsored trip to Copenhagen. Specializing in haunted house videos, Chiara's journey takes a dark turn when she begins receiving threatening messages from an anonymous account.
The shadowy figure escalates to following Chiara around the city, sending surveillance photos and death threats. Director Mike Nybroe's film offers a notable insight by connecting Chiara's real-life harassment to her online persona, where she livestreams from spooky locations for entertainment.
This connection highlights how displaying fear and danger can amplify an influencer's following. The movie also touches on the exploitation of influencers for profit and the nature of hidden identities online.
Despite these relevant themes, the film's narrative becomes muddled and devolves into a standard haunted house scenario. Chiara is repeatedly placed in perilous, spooky locations and forced to flee for her life, in a sequence that feels derivative.
