10 Best ‘Dead And I Know It’ Moments In Recent Horror Movies

Picked up by Shudder and dropped on the streaming service in May 2023, Influencer has somewhat flown under the radar a little when it comes to mainstream attention. For those who've checked out this Kurtis David Harder-helmed picture, though, it's an absolute treat.

Madison is an influencer vacationing in Thailand, but all isn't as well as her followers are led to believe. While Madison's social media presence shows beautiful tourist spots, stunning weather, luscious local food, fancy cocktails, and a consistent smile, the reality is Madison's bored, lonely, and spends the bulk of her time in her hotel room, eating US junk food. That is, until she's befriended by CW.

CW is a friendly face who helps Madison turn this vanilla vacation into a fun one. To the point, the pair head out to a remote, small island... where CW drugs Madison, leaves her for dead, and heads back to the mainland, where she takes over Madison's online persona and lifestyle.

That's the first 20 minutes of Influencer, with the focus switching to CW as Madison's boyfriend comes looking for her, and CW does all she can to cover her tracks.

In a fantastic twist, as CW returns to that remote island in the film's final few minutes to dispose of the bodies of that boyfriend and another influencer, she's knocked out by a Madison who's still very much alive - despite being absent from the film for an hour and presumed to have died.

When CW wakes up, she sees Madison leaving the island on that boat, giving a wry smile as she knows she's doomed to the fate she had planned for Madison. As in, stranded alone on a tiny island, with no way to escape, and with eventual death on the horizon.
