A woman enters an underground bunker where gifted children use augmented reality technology to wreak havoc.

Why it matters

A tense tech-tinged thriller that probes the dark potential of augmented reality and gifted children turned rogue.

  • Early exploration of AR as a horror vector, predating the genre’s current obsession with tech paranoia.
  • Striking use of neon-lit bunker corridors crafts an unsettling, claustrophobic atmosphere reminiscent of ’80s sci-fi horror.
  • Uneven screenplay undercuts its ambitions, but the visual style and concept keep it compelling for fans of low-fi tech horror.
  • Ideal for viewers who appreciate a lean, atmospheric thriller over gore or jump scares, with a cautionary edge about unchecked digital power.
