Written and directed by Marcus Harben, who sadly passed away from Cancer during
post-production, Followers sees a fame-hungry social media
influencer put himself and his classmates in jeopardy when he documents
the demonic presence in his student house.
The film stars Harry Jarvis, Loreece Harrison, Erin Austen, Nina Wadia, Daniel Cahill, Tanya Burr
and Orion Lee.
"I’ve always been obsessed with the ultimate puzzle of all found footage
horror movies," said Harben before his passing. "We get who is shooting the footage - but who is cutting it all together?
I’ve also been obsessed with the rise of the Influencer, especially when
an actual reality star became President. I was able to combine those
obsessions with Followers. I had billions of ideas that took a while to prioritise, but we ended
up with a twisty, turny, spooky, darkly amusing little supernatural horror
movie."
Followers is in UK cinemas from March 18th.

The official synopsis reads:
Jonty, a failing influencer with an ambition to reach over a million followers, will stop at nothing to become famous. A new start at University brings with it hopes of a resurgence in his popularity when a demonic presence appears in his student house. Jonty decides to stream his and his housemates experiences with this supernatural entity to gain the fame and fortune he’s most been craving. But at what cost?
