Julie Alexander is still reeling from the murder of her sister. Months later, her husband, Marcus, announces that he purchased a house in the country so that the two can start a new future and get back on track with their marriage. We learn Julie is having substance abuse issues now by mixing wine with her pain medication (she's in a foot cast during the movie, having tripped over a robot vacuum before the movie began). When Marcus leaves on an alleged business trip, Julie begins to hear a man's voice over the intercoms. The computer system that Marcus invented, Hera, is a modern day personal assistant. Think Alexa of the future. She can even turn on the washing machine! Hera suspiciously is always down when Julie has these terrifying experiences, so that no one believes her. Not the sheriff, not Marcus. To the audience, she becomes an unreliable narrator. Is this all truly happening or is this all in her head? Everyone's convinced of the latter. But maybe Hera is a bit too human for an AI... as we are experiencing in present day how far AI has come and still continues to make amazing and terrifying advances in a short period of time.
I won't spoil anything, but it is a must watch. Eliza Taylor shines. Bob Morley is fantastic, and I wish we had more screen time with him.
