Artificial intelligence (AI) has been all the rage in the movies lately, thanks to the likes of The Creator, M3GAN (and its upcoming spin-off SOULM8TE), Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning, as well as this month's new horror AfrAId.
Adding to this wave of films is the new Megan Fox-starring sci-fi erotic thriller Subservience, which recently debuted its first trailer and sees the Jennifer's Body and Transformers actress play a robot helper turned seductive killer.
The plot synopsis reads:
"Megan Fox stars as Alice, a lifelike artificially intelligent android, who has the ability to take care of any family and home. Looking for help with the housework, a struggling father named Nick (Michele Morrone, Netflix's 365 Days trilogy of movies) purchases Alice after his wife becomes sick.
"Alice suddenly becomes self-aware and wants everything her new family has to offer, starting with the affection of her owner -- and she'll kill to get it."
In the trailer for Subservience - which makes it look like dark, lurid fun - Alice is shown seducing Nick while his wife, Maggie (Madeline Zima, Heroes), is in hospital.
This is before the robot grows jealous when Maggie returns home and a regretful Nick starts to shun Alice.
Directed by S.K Dale, who re-teams with Fox after they made the excellent thriller Till Death together, Subservience is set to be released on digital formats in the United States on 13 September 2024.
A UK and Irish release for the thriller has not yet been set.
