Afraid, a film about a family with an experimental home assistant that acts as an evil twin to their Alexa device, is the latest movie to use artificial intelligence as the villain. But today, the stakes are higher, as AI poses a real and immediate threat. Just ask the actors, voice actors and screenwriters who fear losing their jobs to AI.

Chris Weitz (known for About a Boy and more recently Operation Finale) tries hard to make Afraid an above-average, intelligent Horror movie, but the effort is noticeable and ultimately results in a boring, obvious movie. And if Horror can’t scare us in ways we can’t even imagine, why bother worrying?
