10 Most Anticipated Horror Movies For The Rest Of 2025
4. Influencers
Influencer was an out-of-nowhere horror hit back in 2023, and two years later writer-director Kurtis David Harder and original star Cassandra Naud are back for a sequel, which shifts the action from Thailand to southern France.
Here, CW (Naud) and her girlfriend find themselves crossing paths with British influencer Charlotte (Georgina Campbell), and as anyone who's seen the original film can assume, things probably won't go well for Charlotte.
Influencers was quietly shot last year and premiered earlier this summer at Fantasia to strong critical praise, many lauding it as a savagely satirical horror-thriller that's just as refreshingly mean-spirited and hard-edged as its predecessor.
Following up a concept as singular as this with a same-but-different sequel can't be easy, and yet, critics seem to unanimously agree that Harder has successfully pivoted this apparent one-off into a genuine low-budget horror franchise in its own right.
Influencers will release on Shudder sometime in 2025.
