'Followers' DVD Review

Brook (Amanda Delaney) and Caleb (Justin Maina) are a couple of mediocre social media celebrities. Brook will post her yoga workouts and Caleb posts his fitness videos onto social media websites and some people have begun to view them regularly. They are wanting to take a trip into the woods and celebrate their anniversary, of sorts. Actually, Caleb wants to pop the question on the trip and they are planning to video tape some of their weekend. The problem arises that they are not alone. It seems two social media wanna-be’s are stalking the love birds.

Nick (Nishant Gogna) and Jake (Sean Michael Gloria) have been following the two fitness gurus and they want to produce a documentary on just how simple it is to follow someone on social media and eventually kill them. Brook and Caleb are not the best campers and watching them find the place that they want to sleep is kind of interesting. You see Brook is a pain in the neck when it comes to being out in the woods. Nick and Jake are not the best at stalking someone so it’s kind of interesting watching them find the two love birds.

Brook and Caleb had already had problems just getting to the woods. They ran into some rednecks who recognized them from their video posts and when they leave a gas station the people try to run them off the road. Eventually Nick and Jake stumble on the pair but, things are not what they seem to be. There is more at work here then just a couple of idiots trying to become social media stars.

SKD/Cinedigm bring this marvelous thriller to DVD on May 1st, 2018. The quality of the DVD is excellent and the sights and sounds are superb. This is a wonderful movie to watch and it definitely should be added to your personal library of other quality DVDs. The question arises through the film about just how much of ourselves should we post on social media. We live in a society that believes that we should open our lives to all the world. Brook and Caleb only want to make a little money and get their names out there. They never knew that their lives were in danger because of their new found celebrity. Watch and learn the outcome of our two young love birds will they survive the camping trip.
