First Look Review - "Chateau"
Horror movies and thrillers haven't been kind to influencers. They're almost exclusively portrayed as shallow narcissists, and for the audience half the fun lies in seeing them get their comeuppance. Initially it seems that's all writer/director Luke Genton has in store for us with his found footage chiller Chateau. From the off the film's influencer protagonist is set up as a borderline sociopath, but we soon come to realise she's simply running away from a past she wants to escape. Rather than gleefully waiting for her to get what's coming, we grow to like James (Cathy Marks) enough for us to root for her to make it to the end of her ordeal.
