Under His Influence

The film constructs its suspense on the unsettling gap between a carefully curated online persona and the raw, dangerous reality it masks. It relies on the visual grammar of social media to explore how intimacy can be manufactured and trust weaponized in the digital age.

What lingers after the credits roll is a palpable sense of vulnerability, a quiet alarm about the strangers we invite into our most private spaces. The thriller succeeds not with a loud jump scare, but with a whisper that grows into a scream. — MovieFinder Editorial
