The film is generally competent and well-made and the acting holds up. The landscapes of Thailand are beautiful and what works very well is the loneliness and clinical cool of the sort of high end luxury resorts the influencers of the title stay in. There are notes of a film like Lost in Translation in that sense of dislocation of clueless foreign visitors in very lonely jobs, which the film uses to advance in creating the suspense and horror that drives it forward.
Unfortunately, the basic premise seems to me to be that a less conventionally attractive girl (who is in fact actually very, very beautiful) wants to take revenge on privileged blonde all-American girls and exploit them just as they exploit her country. The film can't decide if she is the villain or hero. It doesn't seem to have the strength of its convictions (if it even has any) to put together a proper argument about influencer culture. And her motivations are not explained well. So I was left thinking that it was almost something, but not quite. I still enjoyed it and I don't exactly not recommend it. I just don't believe it comes together into anything much.
