Reviews
Artificial horror movie AfrAId cuts too many corners and fails its simple assignment Filmmaker Chris Weitz certainly namechecks a lot of technophobic issues in AfrAId, but it's all cut into an illogical mess.
Review: Afraid - Chicago Reader Afraid largely succeeds as a fun genre exercise but doesn’t go beyond that.
AfrAId Movie Review Tech-gone-haywire horror is all artificial, no intelligence. Read Common Sense Media's AfrAId review, age rating, and parents guide.
Stream It Or Skip It: ‘Afraid’ on Netflix, an AI-takeover thriller starring John Cho John Cho and Katherine Waterston star in a movie that seems pretty far beneath their standards.

‘Afraid’ Review: John Cho and Katherine Waterston Star in Chris Weitz’s Bland AI-Themed Horror Flick An artificial intelligence device threatens a family in this movie from the director of 'About a Boy' and 'Operation Finale.'

AfrAId movie review & film summary (2024) This may not be the worst movie of the year but it is certainly one of the laziest.
Movie Review: The terrors of AI should make us more “AfrAId” than this Chris Weitz’s “AfrAId” lays out the benefits and perils of entrusting our lives and world to artificial intelligence well enough. A supercomputer-power...
The kids are not all right in American Pie director’s classic horror thriller Chris Weitz was part of the team behind the raunchy 1990s comedy, but his film Afraid proves how those times have changed.
‘AfrAId’ Review: Chris Weitz's Tech-Scare Thriller Says AI Is the Worst John Cho and Katherine Waterston star in the Blumhouse film "AfrAId" as a couple whose family is terrorized by an AI.
‘Afraid’ Review: Virtual Mary Poppins Becomes Vengeful HAL in Standard Blumhouse Thriller Playing on current fears around artificial intelligence, Chris Weitz’s tale of a family imperiled by its virtual assistant plumbs familiar terrain.
Review: 'AfrAId' locks a genuinely fantastic idea behind a firewall of abysmal storytelling About two percent of this movie is exactly how to tell a story about AI.
