Follow Me is a 2022 American horror thriller film directed by Kate Lanier and starring Erika Christensen, Luke Cook, and Brandon Quinn.

The film centers around a group of social media influencers who travel to a remote cabin for a weekend retreat. Initially intended as a promotional opportunity and chance to bond, the retreat quickly devolves into a terrifying fight for survival as the influencers are targeted by a masked killer. The killer uses their own social media habits against them, staging elaborate and deadly scenarios tailored to their online personas.
