Unimpressed by ‘Afraid’: a critical review of the misguided AI horror film

this has to be one of the worst new releases of 2024 and is telling the complete wrong message about AI this new AI horror movie is called afraid and I actually hate this movie right off the bat they didn’t even try to impress me because I swear the opening shot of this film was made with AI and for a movie that basically says AI is a killer they still somehow make AI look good basically saying to accept and embrace AI and the fact that we actually need it for our society to run but nothing was more annoying than the fact that I watched an hour and a half of this just for it to have the most anti climactic ending ever the villains aren’t threatening at all when spoiler warning you literally find out they’re just people in masks and when I say spoilers I mean that’s something that’s literally revealed within the first like 30 minutes of this film but the fear factor of this film comes from the general fear of AI rather than the actual fear set up in this movie my god this movie wanted to be M3gan so bad but with so many unnecessary scenes it failed on every level so much this is unexplained and makes no sense that I actually wouldn’t be surprised if it was written by AI I just noticed the detail this is gonna be set in the future with AI replacing like Alexis why the hell do they have one of them robot dinosaurs from the 2000s nobody owns one of them
