Unboxed, Influencers Humiliated and Tortured

I know, they're sultry, but we always cheer for the demise of sorority babes in films.  Why?  Who knows?  Maybe guys are reminded of former shallow girlfriends.  Today we also cheer for the demise of sultry influencers.  Those nubile babes who seem so happy hocking the cosmetics of their sponsors just seem to awaken homicidal urges in all of us. Why?  Who knows!  Maybe shallowness has a limit to what we ultimately tolerate.  Today we have a good one where the sultry babes are going to be humiliated, tortured, and ultimately murdered.  But will we be cheering at the end?  Our feature today is 2022's "Unboxed," directed by David Becerra and Eddie del Carmen.

As our story begins, the uber popular influencer is doing a live segment on her Vlog. She's demonstrating cosmetics from her sponsors when she pops a gummy into her mouth. Sent to her by a presumed sponsor, Ria (Paulina Sofia) is poisoned and dies in front of millions while frothing at the mouth. Okay, Halloween, the million-subscriber influencer Laura (Katherine Bury) will do a live segment in which she hocks the cosmetics of her sponsors this evening. She's a sultry redhead with a great body and even men and boys watch her. Yep, it will be an unboxing, and viewers will have the opportunity to win gifts from her sponsors. Her sultry agent, Dawn (Heather Fisch) is about to get her a big contract with the lipstick company Juicy Lips. All is good...she begins the show not knowing her boyfriend Blake (Nico Candela) has been abducted by a psychopath. The same killer who offed Ria.

Now the live streamers begin responding and they love Laura. Uh oh, using Blake's phone, the killer pipes in. He shows Laura scenes of himself torturing Blake and sewing his mouth shut.  The deal is, do as ordered, or he will kill Blake. Now, in front of her audience, the killer orders her to humiliate and mar herself. Disobedience will have Blake stabbed, or worse.  The sultry Laura, who is not allowed to tell her viewers what is going on, will open boxes supplied by the fiend.  She will be ordered to smear feces all over her face, give  little boy trick-or-treaters books on the positions of the Kama Sutra, burn her own fingers with acid, and much worse. Where does this all lead? Yep, the killer is close by and will pay our darling redheaded babe influencer an in person visit.

Will the pretty Laura be pretty enough to earn our sympathy and cause us to pull for her? Just how far will the killer go to humiliate the nubile babe, and will he off Laura like he did Ria? Just how many live streamers would a live Vlog collect, and would we watch, if the babe doing it were tortured and humiliated in real time? Perhaps this film is a statement of the emptiness and phoniness of the idiots we allow to influence us.  Perhaps this is just a gratuitous exercise for all guys who have had to deal with shallow girlfriends.  Either way, see "Unboxed," for an over-the-line torture porn view. I do have to say, Katherine Bury is the sultry actress who will make you glad you watched.
