Der schüchterne Verkäufer Matthew führt ein eintöniges Leben in Los Angeles, bis er auf den charismatischen Oliver trifft, einen aufsteigenden Popstar kurz vor dem Durchbruch. Fasziniert von dessen Anziehungskraft und Kreativität, drängt sich Matthew immer tiefer in Olivers Welt. Was als stille Bewunderung beginnt, entwickelt sich zu einer gefährlichen Nähe, in der die Grenzen zwischen Freundschaft und Besessenheit, Inspiration und Manipulation zunehmend verschwimmen. Doch als Matthews Einfluss schwindet, ist er zum Äußersten bereit …
Lurker Rezensionen & Wertungen
- DavidBunnyDad2. April 2026Sort of a Gen Z ``All About Eve,'' ``Lurker'' is a surprisingly mature and effective film, anchored by Archie Madekwe's believable turn as a rising pop singer (the music is pretty good) and suitably skeevy work from Théodore Pellerin as the sycophant who's either the best or worst thing that's ever happened to him. The film really earns its plaudits with a strong third act that eschews the cheap thriller plot crutches it could have so easily leaned on for something more challenging and thought-provoking.
- Timeless Cinema7. September 2025It's a rare gem that captures the life of a rising star surrounded by envious people hoping to capture some of their shine. Friendship, love, and obsession take on a whole new meaning. And it's incredibly entertaining.
- Kevin Ward29. Juli 2025I’d heard the buzz out of Sundance, so I was really glad to catch this at Fantasia—and it definitely lived up. Really assured and well-crafted film from Alex Russell about obsession, proximity to fame, and the crash that comes when you're no longer in someone’s orbit. Archie Madekwe is magnetic as Oliver, a rising star with that effortless draw—even more so than in Saltburn. But the real standout is Théodore Pellerin, playing Matthew with this soft, eerie intensity that slowly creeps under your skin. It’s about the high of being close to greatness—and the brutal comedown when that’s taken away. Addiction, withdrawal, identity collapse. Ends on a fantastic beat—abrupt and jarring, but so perfect. Really loved it.
- BeeVee2317. März 2026One of those films that makes you feel a bit queasy
- cultfilmliker10. September 2025Friendship is cutthroat Put Zack Fox in everything ever This year’s (tamed down) Red Rooms I am lucky to have never entered a celebrity’s orbit lmfao Ingrid Goes West meets Whiplash meets (insert obsessive movie here) Sometimes you gotta be content! Would love for Sunny to actually change his hair just once. Poor pathetic little Bob Am I just now noticing people singing (usually original) songs in every film or is this some strange ultra trend?? Wait, oh shit, that was Kenny Beats!? Okay, that part’s cool. Watched at Warren Regal East Added to 2025 Ranked

- Oʂɯαʅԃσ Rσყҽƚƚ1. November 2025The film is solid. Beautiful shots of Los Angeles, clean script that doesn't over explain and creates an intriguing narrative without relying heavily on dialogue. The actors were all fantastic and it has a rawness to it. The character development takes its time and the lead is fleshed out well.
