Social Media is Sinister in ‘Followers’

Brooke (Amanda Delaney) and Caleb (Justin Maina, “American Ninja Warrior”), a social media celebrity couple, are celebrating their special anniversary on a camping trip deep in the woods of Sunny Florida. They plan on recording the entire trip for their fans, and Caleb even has a special surprise for her to make this weekend extra special. But they are not alone. Helpless and cut off from all communication, Brook and Caleb are being followed by Nick and Jake, two aspiring filmmakers hell-bent on filming a documentary on how easy it is to track someone down through social media… and kill them.

The trailer and description for Followers are straightforward. We’re going to get stalkers, we’re going to get cell phone footage, and we’re going to get blood. The cast of acting-unknowns aim to get us to check our privacy settings on our social media accounts, and be weary of exactly what it is we’re sharing. As someone who uses an encrypted texting app and deleted Snapchat because obviously the government is spying on us, I am thrilled with the concept. Will they be able to execute?

Followers is available now on VOD.
