Overall, Afraid delivers an unsettling ride with standout performances.

Despite a cast of endearing key players, a couple of solid scares, and a story rooted in certain fears a lot of us can easily relate to, it's a film that spreads itself so thin that, by the end, the only thing it can really be is a mess.

It’s like 55. Metacritic is too harsh on. It was a decent movie until the 33 minute mark then the AI became too unrealistic.

Topical movie with AI very much in the news. It was nicely done and I very much enjoyed it.

The stars are about the only reason to boot up this preposterous thriller, which ends up playing less like a critique of AI technology than another daydream about its power.

It’s too sloppily written and edited for even the least discerning of horror fans to really enjoy, a patchwork of nonsense confusingly stitched together by someone, who at one point, knew better.

Alexa, send this underbaked, untethered failure back to the cutting room.

This scenario’s predictability could be forgiven were the movie effective on any level, but it just isn’t, from Cho and Waterston’s wooden performances to jump scares that would not startle Scooby-Doo.

Here is a film that is so awful in so many ways that at one point, it includes a clip from the notoriously dreadful “The Emoji Movie” and you begin to worry that that film’s reputation might be tarnished by association.

An entertaining and well produced drama/thriller based around a families experience of a sentient ai that goes from invasive to malevolent with consequences! Its not an original concept for sci fi but like a good black mirror episode it finds an interesting take on the concept. I was entertained throughout.

O primeiro terço do filme é sensacional e realmente consegue fisgar o expectador, com a habilidade da IA em resolver os conflitos daquela família, e de uma forma totalmente crível. Era para ter focado no drama mesmo. A partir do momento que tentou ganhar contornos de terror, o filme se perdeu completamente, primeiramente por nao transmitir medo nenhum, e em segundo lugar por um roteiro que desperdiça e força: jump scares esquisitos, uma empresa com vilões bobos e unidimensionais (abatidos de forma ridícula), com sensação de perigo que está muito longe da tensão que o drama da família incialmente construído, passara. Uma pena que vai caindo vertiginosamente. Mas gosto da supremacia da IA, ao menos acertaram no desfecho aqui.

The movie was so so, but the ending is a huge miss. I wouldn't say this is the greatest to come out of Blumhouse and found it on the premise to be an exciting idea but the execution wasn't quite what I hoped for. To see the AI in the position it gained in the ending was disturbing and I disliked the hopelessness exhibited in the characters nor their lack of any attempt to fight off this entity in a way that would bring them closer and on top over the invading enemy that winds up becoming more of a helicopter nuisance with a killer side and shows every aspect of narcissistic gaslighting to leave a purely awful taste in ona moviegoers. moviegoer. Again, it is not the worst movie I've seen this summer but on a rage rating of 1 to 5 I'd give to 3 stars.

This movie was treated like a horror movie but felt more like a slice of life. The only horror aspects were the ai smiling face people.

Meanders around with limited impact for almost its entire runtime, its neither scary nor intriguing. A Hollywood movie lecturing on the dangers of AI is comical.
