Debug
Six young computer hackers sent to work on a derelict space freighter, are forced to match wits with a vengeful artificial intelligence that would kill to be human.
Why it matters
A tense fusion of sci-fi dread and slasher-style claustrophobia, Debug pits hacker archetypes against a malevolent AI in a derelict spaceship’s cold, mechanical nightmare.
- Practical effects and tight set design evoke the tactile terror of ’80s space horrors like *Event Horizon* and *Alien* without leaning on cheap jumpscares.
- David Hewlett (of *Stargate Atlantis* fame) brings gravitas to a cast of young actors navigating tech paranoia and isolation.
- For fans of digital-age body horror and AI-gone-wrong tales, it’s a cult-flavored, cerebral haunt in the vein of *Pulse* or *The Signal*.
- The slow burn start demands patience but rewards with escalating tension and a classic trapped-in-a-ship vibe that never feels overplayed.
