A sultry cheerleader in full costume, bound and gagged. She'll be strung up, chloroformed, and tortured. Today we have a film that may not get much love but will satisfy those who like their horror gratuitous. In many instances it will be difficult to watch what is done to our cheerleader damsel. You'll wince. You'll turn away from the camera. The beautiful will suffer a lot...all at the hands of a madman. Bit wait! Is our psycho really the bad guy? Our feature today is 2022's "Deinfluencer," directed by Jamie Bailey.
As our film begins, Kelly the cheerleader (Marie Luciani-Grimaldi) wakes up tied to a chair in a huge warehouse. A psycho (Simon Phillips) in a mask has kidnapped her. Kelly is a social media influencer with half a million followers. She posts pics of her in her cheerleader outfit doing arousing poses. Kelly's world is as phony as social media. Now this psycho forces her to pose for the camera and post those pics. The catch is, the madman demands a certain amount of likes in an hour or he'll take off one of Kelly's body parts. Alas, even a sultry cheerleader doesn't always hit her like goal. The madman tells Kelly he wants to "deinfluence" her. Save her from her phony world of being an influencer.
Kelly is at the bad man's mercy. Her tormentor is a man of his word and when Kelly fails at the goal he has set...well, he performs an operation. So sad. Now Kelly decides to say no to her abductor and accepts her fate...to be slaughtered. The psycho is one step ahead of her. He has abducted another babe, Jill (Anne-Carolyne Binette). Realizing she needs to hit the ambitious goals set by a psycho, Kelly gets more gratuitous and sexual in her poses...even bringing Jill in for some steamy kissing. Alas, there is no beating the addiction to social media...and this is one of the points our psycho is driving home. As more surgery occurs, Kelly is running out of body parts before her face will be the next donor. Now she toughens up and plots escape.
Will Kelly keep enough of herself to be able to mount an escape attempt? Just who are these babes that are also captives and can they be trusted? Is our psycho's goal a noble one? Hard to watch at times, and preachy, but perhaps the preaching is something we can all take heart in. Stay off your social media for a couple of hours and take in this moralistic and vicious horror film, "Deinfluencer."
