In this high-concept hi-tech thriller, spring break in a luxury smart house for a group of box-ticking college friends turns into a battle for survival when the home's next-generation AI turns against them. The film looks pretty and glossy, the connected/online/learning-AI gimmick is used purposefully, and the Final Destination-lite kills are adequate enough, in spite of the occasional low-end CGI.
The film makes a point about how society blindly accepts AI, but surprisingly it says little more than 1973's classic Demon Seed. The plot generally bears little scrutiny, especially when it descends into third act silliness, but there is plenty going on with a couple of twists on the usual formula.
