1/5

Summary
A group of influencers head to a convention where they are met by an evil spirit.
My oh my this film was poor on so many fronts it is hard to know where to begin with it. Firstly, unlike something like Big Foot Famous that I reviewed recently that used this idea of influencer culture in a meaningful way, this film relegated it to a gimmick at best. All of the usual cliches were there, most of which are born out of an out of touch fear of the young people and their ways on the part of aging executives.
Secondly, I understand that this film is going for the B movie esque approach and not trying to take itself too seriously but that backfires into massive tonal inconsistencies. With some moments feeling too silly and others feeling too dower, and this imbalance is something the film never recovers from.
Thirdly, the plot is incredibly contrived and has been done much better in the past. I feel like I have already seen this film several times over before, with this iteration of it almost feeling like a spoof film.
Overall, the best thing I can say about this film is that it is short. It is so riddled with problems that it is doomed from the start.
Pros.
It is short
Cons.
It feels played out
The horror doesn’t land
The tone is deeply inconsistent
The influencer characters are awful
