Miranda Young

Bad Influence tries to be a gripping thriller but ends up a confusing mess. The plot is poorly written, with scenes that make little sense and characters who behave irrationally without explanation. Dialogue feels stiff, and the film jumps from one event to another without proper buildup, making it hard to stay engaged. The “bad influence” character is meant to be dangerous and manipulative, but his actions feel forced and underdeveloped. The protagonist’s transformation is just as unconvincing, lacking depth or clarity. Overall, the film is disjointed and forgettable—more frustrating than thrilling. Skip it unless you’re watching for nostalgia.

I think the storyline dragged out too long. The long noticeable stares between Peyami and Esvet. They allowed Dimitri total control of everything, he stayed a step ahead of everyone! The storyline is full of secrets , lies and drama.
