The Drone
A newlywed couple is terrorized by a consumer drone that has become sentient with the consciousness of a deranged serial killer.
Why it matters
Mechanical menace meets slasher nightmare in a low-budget thriller that retools killer tech horror for the drone age.
- A sentient drone possessed by a serial killer’s consciousness turns consumer tech into a stalking predator—modern paranoia meets slasher tropes.
- Practical effects and tight framing work overtime to make the tiny, buzzing antagonist genuinely unsettling despite budget constraints.
- For fans of tech-horror hybrids like *Unfriended* and *Upgrade*, it’s a compact, claustrophobic take on how surveillance culture can turn deadly.
- Not flawless—some pacing and story beats feel rushed—but the concept and the drone’s buzzing terror carry enough bite for a quick, tense watch.
