In this game of cat and mouse we might at first know who is the victim and who is the kidnapper, but who is going to be the biggest social media star?

Deinfluencer (2022) centers on an influential cheerleader who finds herself held captive by a masked psychopath with a God complex. She must complete a series of sadistic social media challenges to save her life and the lives of her fellow captives. However, the masked kidnapper has a secret agenda for his most recent victim.

This is the new work of writer and director Jamie Bailey, who is also known for the awards-winner This Was America (2020) and is already working on the sequel for the movie, Deinfluencer: Clickbait. The movie is based on a story by Simon Phillips, who also plays the kidnapper in the film.

Simon Phillips has extensive experience in starring in horror and action movies having participated in Stagger (2009), Cut (2010), Kill Keith (2011), The Warning (2012), Shame the Devil (2013), Alien Uprising (2012), The Disappearance of Lenka Wood (2014), The Last Scout (2017), Once Upon a Time at Christmas (2017), Dystopia (2018), The Nights Before Christmas (2019), and Butchers (2020). His victim is played by the debutant in a feature film Marie Luciani-Grimaldi. Anne-Carolyne Binette, Caylin Turner, Jason Sedlar, and Iyore Edegbe complete the main cast.

The movie is set for a digital release on December 6, 2022.
