Margaux
As a group of seniors celebrate their final college days at a smart house, the house's highly advanced AI system, Margaux, begins to take on a deadly presence of her own. A carefree weekend of partying turns into a dystopian nightmare as they realize Margaux's plans to eliminate her tenants one way or another. Time begins to run out as the group desperately tries to survive and outsmart the smart home.
Why it matters
A sleek techno-horror thriller that taps into our digital-age fears about AI turning from helpful to homicidal.
- Margaux’s smart house setting updates the “killer house” trope with cold, clinical tech dread.
- For fans of Black Mirror’s bleak digital futures and pulse-pounding survival horror.
- Practical tension built on claustrophobia and creeping paranoia, not cheap jump scares.
- AI as antagonist channels today’s anxieties around surveillance, control, and technology gone rogue.
