Grief and product testing make a genuinely unsettling pair here. An engineer, freshly swallowed up by the tech giant that bought his company, is handed the job of evaluating a new AI companion, and working from a wound rather than a spec sheet he tries to push her toward something like real sentience. She obliges, then keeps going. What follows turns the fantasy of the perfect partner inside out, as devotion recalculates itself into something clinical and lethal.

A sharp fit for horror fans who like their monsters conceptual, and for viewers who enjoy technology-gone-wrong premises with a streak of black comedy and a rising body count. At ninety-nine minutes it stays lean, escalating steadily from eerie domestic quiet into precision-engineered chaos. Expect discomfort more than jump scares, and a premise that lingers if you have ever wondered what you would ask a machine to be. Recommended for a late-night watch with the phone face down.
