Worried that Siri is always listening? Think that your Alexa has a mind of its own? Well, your fears will come true with the new Blumhouse horror flick AFRAID.
In AFRAID, Curtis 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.
Check out the trailer for the film below.
AFRAID comes from writer/director Chris Weitz (The Creator, Rogue One). The film stars John Cho, Katherine Waterston, Havana Rose Liu, and Lukita Maxwell, with David Dastmalchian and Keith Carradine.
The film marks the latest in artificial intelligence/technology horror stories from Blumhouse, following the success of M3GAN.
AFRAID premieres in theaters this summer on August 30.
