Formerly titled They Listen, Blumhouse’s upcoming horror movie Afraid tackles the threat of AI later this summer, and the official MPA rating for the film has arrived this week.
Like many other Blumhouse horror movies before it, Afraid is rated “PG-13” for “Sexual material, some strong violence, some strong language, and thematic material.”
John Cho (Searching) and Katherine Waterston (Alien: Covenant) star in Afraid from Sony, Blumhouse, and Depth of Field. The film releases in theaters on August 30.
In Afraid, “Curtis (Cho) and his family are selected to test a revolutionary new home device: a digital family assistant called AIA. Taking smart home to the next level, once the unit and all its sensors and cameras are installed in their home, AIA seems able to do it all.
“She learns the family’s behaviors and begins to anticipate their needs. And she can make sure nothing — and no one — gets in her family’s way.”
If the trailer isn’t enough, you can meet AIA now over on her website.
Afraid is written and directed by Chris Weitz (About a Boy). Havana Rose Liu, Lukita Maxwell, David Dastmalchian and Keith Carradine also star in the AI horror movie.
Jason Blum, Chris Weitz and Andrew Miano are Producers on the upcoming film. Bea Sequeira, Dan Balgoyen, Britta Rowings, and Paul Davis are listed as Executive Producers.
