Blumhouse hates us. They really, really hate us. They made us afraid of the Tooth Fairy, our birthdays, Generative Androids, and teddy bears, to name a few things. On August 30th, we can add AI smart houses to the list.
In AFRAID, Curtis (John Cho) and his family are selected to test a revolutionary new home device: a digital family assistant called AIA. Taking smart home to the next level, once the unit and all its sensors and cameras are installed in their home, AIA seems able to do it all. She learns the family’s behaviors and begins to anticipate their needs. And she can make sure nothing – and no one – gets in her family’s way.
As scared as that movie made us, I am still going to see it like all of their other movies.
