User Reviews
RetroHorrorFan – 7/10
“The concept is genuinely creepy—an AI that takes obsession to a terrifying level. The slow burn tension and the dated '70s tech actually add to the unease. Not perfect, but a unique and unsettling experience.”
ScreamQueen77 – 5/10
“I appreciate the atmospheric build-up, but the pacing was too slow for my taste. The acting is decent, especially from the lead, but the ending felt a bit flat. It's worth a watch if you're into classic sci-fi horror.”
ChillKiller – 8/10
“This movie messed with my head! The way Proteus uses the house and technology to terrorize is so imaginative. It's a smart, intense thriller that stays with you. Highly recommend for fans of psychological horror.”
HorrorJunkie101 – 6/10
“An interesting premise with some genuinely unsettling moments, but it feels dated and the execution is uneven. The 'computer voice' chirps got a bit annoying. Still, it's a worthwhile watch for the unique villain.”
