Afraid Ratings & Reviews
- Andrew CloutJuly 4, 2025Excellent movie. In today’s world, a must watch.
- Kevin WardJuly 1, 2025Me, when AIA got the kids to do the dishes and brush their teeth without the parents asking. Honestly, I mostly liked this, but felt like last third was kind of a mess and not all that scary or thrilling. I kind of liked where the film ultimately ends up, but similar to Slingshot (with which I did an airplane double feature), I can’t really say the film was worth watching. Mrs. Davis did it better.
- ScottDecember 14, 2024I wanted to like this. The idea of an artificial cryptid composed of the worst of humanity is such a fun idea. Or even just a haunted house of our own making. But both of those ideas give way to a most of the movie happening offscreen and what we’re given is not even particularly important to the movie.
- mhenderson_99June 2, 2025great concept. we should be scared
- eckoryanApril 28, 2025A little over written and predictable, but I still enjoyed it.
- Lisa RyallFebruary 17, 2025I was so excited about the premise and they really did the very least they could with it. Shockingly bad writing.
- RyezooFebruary 4, 2025The AI putting in the emoji movie for entertainment is all the torture needed for a horror movie. It’s a shame that this movie is so half baked it waste the talented actors it has on the cast
- SpoonsNovember 3, 2024Afraid follows a marketing professional who gets his hands on cutting-edge AI technology for a demonstration, aiming to prove his agency’s worth. The plot unfolds as he becomes increasingly entangled in the dark capabilities of the AI, blurring the line between control and chaos. While the concept of AI-driven anxiety is timely, the execution feels more like a standard thriller than a chilling horror film. Despite its intriguing premise, the movie falls into a pattern of predictability, with performances and direction reminiscent of made-for-TV thrillers. The AI-created video content adds a visually interesting layer, blurring reality and fabrication. However, the lack of genuine scares or tension keeps it from reaching its potential. Afraid is an average watch, best suited for a mindless evening. Fans of light thrillers or technology-themed narratives may find some appeal here. It might interest those who enjoyed films like The Circle or Anon but with tempered expectations.
