Regardless of whether you love or hate the swarm of young, good-looking social media stars that have colonized the Web, you’ll probably enjoy this:
Eli Roth is using a Snapchat story to slaughter a clutch of them in inventive ways.
As Variety reported, the whole thing is a stunt for Crypt TV, a digital network co-founded by the director. It’s all playing out through a 24-hour Snapchat narrative.
So who did it? All the clues you need are in the story. #andthentherewerenone

Viewers have that time to work out the identity of the killer who has been rapidly slicing through the group of social media ‘influencers’ who have been showing off their wooden acting at a mansion party.
The murdered new media darlings are Logan Paul, Nick Bateman,David Dobrik, Lia Marie Johnson, Jack Baran and Simone Shepherd. Between them they have over 29 million followers across Vine, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram.

Logan Paul has a death wish anyway…
As you’d expect from the man who masterminded ‘Hostel’, Roth has been finding some great ways to slay them. It’s a modern b-movie with acting as bad as you’d find in any old-school slasher flick.
But hey, that’s the Snapchat vibe. Remember ‘Literally Can’t Even!’?*
