So the upcoming vampire flick WITH TEETH – about a vampire killing off internet "influencers" (i.e. Let's Players, Instagram models, YouTube comedians) – sounds like it could either be really relevant and funny…or insufferable and cringey (ala most "influencer movies", ala TO BOLDY FLEE, SMOSH: THE MOVIE, SPACE COP, or the Fine Brothers-directed F*&% THE PROM). However, since this is a film about influencers, but not necessarily made by influencers, means it might actually have a shot at being good. Anyway, here's the official synopsis of the film, which

follows a group of superstar Internet influencers who are drawn to a reclusive billionaire’s mansion only to find themselves trapped in the lair of a horrifyingly evil vampire. The only way out is to be saved by a famous online gamer (Hayward) and an old school vampire hunter, who is set in his ways.

According to Deadline, Malin Akerman (WATCHMEN, FINAL GIRLS) is executive producing (while also "eyeing a key role"), and had this to say about the film:

I’m thrilled to be producing this film. The script, written and to be directed by my friend Asher Levin, is a daring new take on the vampire genre, with themes relevant to the times we’re living in. Coupled with the amazing cast we’re putting together, I’m excited to help bring Asher’s vision to life!

Meanwhile, the film – directed by K. Asher Levin and starring Lydia Hearst, Kara Hayward, and Jack Donnelly – is currently being presented to buyers at the 2020 Cannes Film Festival’s Marché du Film virtual platform.

So what do you guys think? Any influencer movies that are actually good? Either way, sound off below!
