John Cho stars in Blumhouse's next 'AI is scary and bad' movie, AFRAID, in theaters August 30

Blumhouse: The horror-forward studio where “if it works, it works.” That’s the best possible explanation we have for the AFRAID trailer including, beat-for-beat, the same scene that was in the M3GAN trailers. Specifically, the scene where a bully threatens the protagonist’s kid and an artificially intelligent helper takes things way too far and kills the bully. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, and this time throw in John Cho for good measure.

” Speaking of smart homes, while AFRAID shares obvious DNA with M3GAN, it also strongly resembles that Disney Channel Original Movie classic Smart House. Millennials know exactly what they’re getting into when the house A.I. starts saying things like, “Think of me like another mom.” PAT already did that shit back in 1999! And she, too, tormented the protagonist’s bully. Nothing new under the sun, it would seem.
