Haterz (2022) is a social thriller that explores the dark side of online fame, cyberbullying, and digital obsession. Directed by James Rowe, the film follows the journey of a rising social media influencer, Mason Carter, whose life takes a terrifying turn when he becomes the target of a relentless group of online haters. What begins as a few negative comments quickly escalates into a full-blown nightmare, forcing Mason to confront both his online persona and his real-life vulnerabilities.

Mason, a charismatic but self-absorbed content creator, thrives on likes, shares, and validation from his growing audience. However, his controversial takes and exaggerated antics attract a group of anonymous trolls who seem determined to ruin his career. At first, he dismisses the hate as part of internet culture, but when his personal information is leaked, his sponsorship deals collapse, and his relationships crumble, Mason realizes he is in serious danger. The attacks intensify as the haters orchestrate real-world consequences, manipulating public perception and pushing him to the brink of despair.

Desperate to uncover the identity of those targeting him, Mason teams up with an investigative journalist, Claire, who specializes in cybercrime. As they dig deeper, they uncover a twisted network of individuals who take pleasure in destroying influencers for sport. The film takes a psychological turn as Mason spirals into paranoia, unsure of who to trust. The climax reveals an unexpected perpetrator, someone Mason never suspected, forcing him to reassess his entire approach to social media and personal responsibility.

With a gripping narrative and thought-provoking commentary on the dangers of digital culture, Haterz serves as a cautionary tale about the power of online communities and the devastating impact of unchecked cyber harassment.
