Poster for ‘The Influencer Project’ Shines a Light on Social Media Horror from the Minds Behind ‘The Blair Witch Project’

Where do you hide when everyone is watching?

That’s the unsettling question posed by The Influencer Project, a new social media horror movie coming from Hades Films this October. Our friends at Fangoria have debuted the poster this morning, and I have to say…I’m digging it.

It features an iPhone depicting the image of a terrified woman covering her face. Wrapped around the phone is a ring light, emanating an eerie glow. Simple as it may be, the visual strikes at a disturbing discomfort I’ve come to associate with social media, a place that feels like it’s always watching your every move.

The official synopsis reads: “Influencer Chiara King travels to Copenhagen with a documentary crew promising an unfiltered look behind the glamorous business of online fame. But as the cameras and her devoted fans follow her every move, someone else is watching too. When an obsessive stalker begins closing in, the documentary mutates into something far more terrifying, blurring the line between content and evidence, follower and predator, fact and fiction.”

Chiara King stars as a fictionalized version of herself, alongside Luca Storm, Mike Nybroe, Jazmine Summer, and Alexandre Willaume.

Mike Nybroe directs his feature debut from a script he co-wrote with Lars Ap and Anders Jon Petersen.

Eduardo Sánchez and Gregg Hale, the minds behind the original The Blair Witch Project, produced the film. Additional producers include Alex Hertzberg and Ahmet Zappa of Hades Films. Executive producers are Steven Greenberg, Konstantin Othmer, Gadi Harel, and Adam Burger.

The Influencer Project influences audiences when it arrives in theaters on October 2nd.
