The Follower is a captivating thriller movie that was released in 2016. The movie features several skilled actors including Erika Christensen who plays the lead role of a famous blogger named Tragedy Girls, Val Lauren as Matt and Bethany Lauren James who plays Aubrey. Tragedy Girls has acquired an enthusiastic fan-base, but she needs a new story that will allow her to gain more followers and strengthen her online presence. She consequently decides to embark on an interview assignment to a sleepy town, but things start to get eerie when she reaches her destination. Matt is the man who invites Tragedy Girls to his small town, and it becomes apparent that he has something up his sleeve, which makes Tragedy Girls uneasy. Nevertheless, she decides to stay and conduct her interview as planned.

As Tragedy Girls tries to dig deeper into the lives of the people in the small town, she begins to realize that there is more than meets the eye. She becomes increasingly paranoid about the people she meets, particularly Matt, who seems to be following her every move. She even informs the local police about her fears, but they brush her concerns off, believing that she is just being paranoid.

Despite the backlash from the police, Tragedy Girls realizes that she needs to continue with her investigation, and so she goes back to Matt's home to conduct further research. However, this proves to be a big mistake as she soon finds herself locked in Matt's basement. Tragedy Girls makes several attempts to escape from the basement, but they are all futile. She eventually learns the horrifying truth about why Matt was following her all along and realizes that she is in mortal danger. From then on, it becomes a fight for her survival as she tries to free herself from the demented man's grasp.
