21 hours agoObsession, blackmail and Instagram: inside Lurker, the year's most compelling thriller
If Tom Ripley lived in LA in 2018 and was really into lo-fi bedroom pop, he might look something like the main character of Lurker. The debut feature from Alex Russell, The Bear and Beef writer-producer, is an elegantly creepy thriller about one super-fan's scheme to become close to his musical idol, transposing Patricia Highsmith's two-man theme into a murkier grey territory, with parasitic attachment giving way to co-dependence that blooms into something that looks like a twisted kind of love.
