Influencers (2025) Breakdown: Toxic Posers, French Wine & Pure Catharsis | Streamin' Demons

Jo and Amelie rip into Influencers (2025) on Shudder, the razor-sharp sequel that makes you cheer for the villain. A lesbian couple’s romantic French getaway turns into a nightmare when an unhinged influencer won’t take 'leave us alone' for an answer. We lose our minds over the authentic French vibes (Amelie spotted her old castles!), the hateably perfect toxic characters, and how this movie makes you wanna yeet every ring-light warrior into the void. Zero forced representation, just real people being messy, murderous, and magnificent. Hour-and-fifty flies by like a scooter in Bali. Grab some wine, lock the door, and watch this NOW.
