Afraid

2024 · 84 min

A slick, uneasy tech-paranoia thriller that keeps you tense with creeping dread and a few jolts, more cautionary than scary.

Tagline: Be careful what you let in.
Overview: Curtis Pike and his family are selected to test a new home device: a digital assistant called AIA. AIA observes the family's behaviors and begins to anticipate their needs. And she can – and will – make sure nothing – and no one – gets in her family's way.
How it feels: Tense, dark, cynical and eerie. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Technology, family, obsession, isolation
Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
