Tau
Held captive in a futuristic smart house, a woman hopes to escape by befriending the A.I. program that controls the house.
Why it matters
A claustrophobic techno-thriller that traps classic AI paranoia in a sleek, if uneven, smart-home nightmare.
- Practical effects and tight set design sell the oppressive, high-tech captivity vibe.
- Maika Monroe anchors the film with a grounded performance amid the sci-fi trappings.
- For fans of AI horror and psychological cat-and-mouse games, even if the script stumbles.
- Falls short of the philosophical depth of ‘Ex Machina’ but offers a solid genre pulse on AI control fears.
