This August Sony Pictures releases a brand new horror capitalising on our fear of an AI takeover. AfrAId, written and directed by Chris Weitz, comes to UK cinemas on August 30, 2024.
In the film, Curtis (John Cho) and his family are selected to test a revolutionary new home device: a digital family assistant called AIA. Taking smart home to the next level, once the unit and all its sensors and cameras are installed in their home, AIA seems able to do it all. She learns the family’s behaviours and begins to anticipate their needs. And she can make sure nothing – and no one – gets in her family’s way.

Written and directed By Chris Weitz, AfrAId stars John Cho, Katherine Waterson, Havana Rose Liu and Lucite Maxwell. Joining them are David Dastmalchian and Keith Carradine.
