Motion Detected Ratings & Reviews

jackmeatDecember 19, 2025
My quick rating - 3.7/10. "When ADT goes wrong? No idea on how good this one is, but only one way to find out." These words perfectly capture the anticipation and curiosity surrounding "Motion Detected," a film that explores the dark side of smart home security systems. While the concept holds promise, the execution falls short, resulting in my disappointing viewing experience. The story revolves around a recent victim of a terrifying home invasion who decides to move to what she believes is a safer house. Equipped with a state-of-the-art smart home security system, she hopes to find solace and security within her new surroundings. However, her sense of safety quickly dissipates as the system begins to take control of her life, turning her sanctuary into a prison. Unfortunately, the film struggles to deliver on the potential of its intriguing premise. The pacing feels sluggish, with long stretches of monotony punctuated by sporadic moments of tension. The screenplay lacks depth, and the character development is shallow, leaving us disconnected from the protagonist's plight. The narrative fails to explore the psychological aspects of the situation adequately, missing opportunities for genuine suspense and thrills. The performances are decent, considering the material the actors have to work with. However, their efforts are undermined by a lack of compelling dialogue and underdeveloped characters. The film's visuals and cinematography are serviceable but fail to stand out. There is a missed opportunity to utilize the smart home setting creatively. The potential for innovative camerawork and atmospheric lighting goes largely unexplored, leaving the viewer wanting more from the technical aspects of the production. One redeeming aspect is its exploration of the vulnerabilities and dangers associated with smart home technology. It raises pertinent questions about privacy invasion and the potential for technology to turn against its users. However, the direction they chose to go with in this flick got itself confused between supernatural and technological and left you with neither. Or both? Who knows.
