The Spanish Horror Film ‘No Me Sigas’ Combines the Horrors of Influencers With the Paranormal—And It’s Great

by

Blumhouse, the studio behind the hit movie Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, recently released its first original Spanish-language film, No Me Sigas. The movie tells a horror story that will resonate with many viewers today. It centers on Carla, a rising social media influencer played by Karla Coronado, who is determined to gain 100,000 followers and will do whatever it takes to achieve her goal.

Carla hopes moving into a new apartment will finally launch her career, but it comes with a spooky catch – the place is haunted and has a disturbing past. As she chases her dreams, she risks straining her friendship with Sam (Julia Maqueo) and, even worse, encountering real ghosts.

TopMob recently interviewed Karla Coronado and Julia Maqueo, the stars of No Me Sigas, to discuss how the film blends the scary world of social media influencers with supernatural horror. You can read the complete interview below.

Stay tuned for more on the latest horror movies, including updates on what Scream 7 will offer to dedicated fans.

No Me Sigas is now streaming on Hulu.

Researching Influencer Culture for ‘No Me Sigas

The Stars of ‘No Me Sigas’ Are No Strangers to the World of Influencers

  • TopMob: “Obviously, so much about it revolves around influencer culture. So how much research did you both do into that world and what it is like for that to just be everything?”

We all encounter influencers online, especially if we have any kind of presence on the internet. But I recently started looking into something new: spooky influencers! It was a fascinating search, and I really had to dig deep to find some truly cool and eerie accounts. I enjoy watching that kind of content, and it was a lot of fun.

These days, everyone understands the world of influencers. I’m very aware of that scene, but I didn’t initially connect with my character, Sam, who comes across as quite artificial. Of course, there’s a lot of superficiality out there, but also a lot of genuine people. What I loved about this film is how it realistically portrays what can happen when someone loses themselves trying to be something they’re not. I think many people can relate to that struggle, but there’s also a reminder that authenticity still exists.

Combining the Horrors of Influencers With the Paranormal

“What Are You Willing to Do to Get Some Likes…”

  • TopMob: “The world of influencers is a very scary thing. So, can you just talk about why that world and the horrors within it blend so perfectly with the supernatural and everything that this film adds to that equation?”

Karla Coronado feels that horror movies are great because they force us to confront our deepest fears. She particularly likes this movie because it deals with a very current fear: how much are people willing to change themselves – even their identity – online just to get attention and likes? It makes you think about how far people will go for validation, even if it means losing themselves or facing serious consequences.

I really appreciate that this movie tackles contemporary anxieties. It effectively uses a monster as a symbol, but it’s also powerful to simply see a character struggling with intense panic attacks in a haunted house and losing herself in the process. That aspect of the film is particularly compelling to me.

Julia Maqueo feels both themes are frightening, and combining them creates an enjoyable tension. Like Karla pointed out, the film explores how personal fears—the things that truly scare us—manifest as monsters. Interestingly, the story could have ended easily if Karla had simply left, but the film focuses on the lengths she’s willing to go to in order to achieve her goals and gain recognition.

Someone jokingly pointed out that this movie isn’t a typical ‘cabin in the woods’ scenario – the character is in a city and could easily leave. But what’s really interesting is that she chooses to stay, because she’s deeply lost in her own thoughts and feels incredibly lonely. She’s trying to escape her internal struggles, not just the physical location. I found that to be a really compelling idea – it’s about an internal journey, not just a physical one.

The Creepy and Authentic Filming Locations

“Someone Died In There…”

  • TopMob: “Where was the movie filmed?… Because the place is really creepy looking, and it looks really authentic.”

Julia Maqueo explained that the film felt very real, almost like they didn’t need sets. Everything you see is how it actually was. They filmed in two actual buildings – one with the top four floors completely burned out, which you see in the apartment scene, and another where a death had occurred. She felt the buildings themselves became characters, creating a surreal and intense experience.

Karla Coronado explained that many of the characters were experiencing mental health crises simultaneously. As actors, knowing they’d be portraying such intense emotional states and dark themes helped them build the film’s atmosphere, which is what audiences ultimately saw on screen.
