A screw-turning psychological thriller made for the moment, Lurker is the razor-sharp directorial debut from The Bear and Beef writer-producer Alex Russell.
When a twenty-something retail clerk (Théodore Pellerin) encounters a rising pop star (Archie Madekwe), he takes the opportunity to edge his way into the in-crowd. But as the line between friend and fan blurs beyond recognition, access and proximity become a matter of life and death.
Online fixation meets reality in this parasocial, paranoid cat-and-mouse film driven by star-making performances. With an incisive view to contemporary culture and a brilliant score from Kenny Beats (known for his work with Vince Staples), Lurker presents an exhilarating take on the music industry, the blurred line between friend and fan, and our universal search for validation.
