The Influencer Project (2026) is a found-footage horror film set in Copenhagen. Plot summary, cast, US release dates and where to watch it at home.

Plot Summary: What Is The Influencer Project About?

Chiara King has built her life around being seen. When she agrees to let a documentary team trail her through Copenhagen, the idea is simple: strip away the filters and show audiences what the influencer business really looks like when the ring light switches off. Her followers are thrilled, and every stop on the trip is filmed, shared and picked apart online.

The problem is that not every viewer is content to watch from a distance. As the crew keeps rolling, it becomes clear that a fixated stranger is tracking Chiara through the city, and the footage meant to sell a polished personal brand starts to capture something far more unsettling. Told in a found-footage style, the film turns the tools of social media against its own star: the constant camera, the public check-ins and the devoted audience all become ways for danger to edge closer. The tagline sums up the dilemma neatly: Where do you hide when everyone is watching?
