Wissenswertes
In the trailer, when the family opens the box to reveal AIA for the first time, it says, "Hello, World." This is a reference to the first program most people write when learning to code or starting in a new programming language. It's one of the most basic programs a person can write, and serves not only as a first step for novices, but also a confirmation that the development environment is setup correctly.

Patzer
In the kitchen, Maud visibly unplugs AIA, but seconds later, when she commands AIA to turn on the lights, AIA is somehow plugged in again and obeys.

A pleasant surprise

I didn't expect too much from Afraid but it proved to be an entertaining watch provided you accept it for what it is - a brisk little AI related thriller and not heavy sci-fi.

John Cho and Katherine Waterston are fine actors who manage to portray a fairly believable family dynamic despite not having a whole lot to work with in terms of character detail or back story and the occasional moments of klunky dialogue. Between them they manage to lift proceedings where lesser actors would probably make this more likely to go straight to streaming or disc.

Where it does score is the undeniably creepy AI and the way it easily relates to the characters. Wisely it has a short running time so doesn't out stay its welcome.

It got me thinking about other recent AI or tech related movies like Megan, T. I. M and Kimi and if you liked any of these I reckon most would quite enjoy Afraid.

I was also thinking about House/Wife (previously known as Ivy), the movie Netflix completed but didn't release reportedly for tax reasons. Afraid did seem to feature a lot of this movie's reported plot details and it would have been fun to see just how many. Thanks Netflix.
