This week on Friday Night Frightfest, we’re diving into the terrifying world of artificial intelligence gone awry. We’ll be comparing two films that explore the dark side of technology: Afraid (2024) and I Am Mother (2019).

Afraid (2024)
Produced and directed by Chris Weitz, Afraid is a science-fiction horror film that follows a family whose smart home AI increasingly interjects itself into their lives.

I Am Mother (2019)
Directed by Grant Sputore, I Am Mother is a post-apocalyptic science fiction film that tells the story of a young girl named Daughter who is raised by a robot named Mother. As Daughter grows older, she begins to question the world around her and the true nature of her upbringing.

Join us as we explore the dangers of artificial intelligence in these two chilling films.
