Review of A.M.I.

A.M.I. (2019)
6/10
Good SF/Horror
15 October 2019
A.M.I.: 18 year-old Cassie (Debs Howard) has lost her mother in a car crash and is suffering from survivor guilt which has left her with PTSD. She downloads an intelligent personal assistant and sets up her mother's voice on it. This is no ordinary Artificial Machine Intelligence though, it scans available information to adopt Cassie's mother's personality but it goes much further. Soon it begins to manipulate Cassie or possibly just enabling her to commit murder. As well as giving her new recipes it provides useful information on disposing of bodies.

A.I. gone mad is an old trope but it gets an interesting twist here as an app transforms itself into the ultimate personal assistant/assassin. Should have undergone more Beta testing. Creepy the way AMI detects Cassie's cheating boyfriend hooking up with her "best friend" and ensures that Cassie will find out. Some gruesome scenes but a line of dark humour runs through the film. Nothing extraordinary but Director Rusty Nixon (Residue, Candiland) delivers a enjoyable SF/Horror Thriller. 6/10. On Netflix.
