It's about a family whose smart house goes all Skynet on them. This has
been done before and mostly done better. You get the feeling throughout
the movie that there were a lot of scenes cut out because a lot of what
the characters do and say seem like a huge overreaction. The husband in
particular seems hugely freaked out by the AI assistant in his home for
no really good reason. I mean, we the audience know it's evil but he's
not supposed to, at least not at that point in the movie, so it makes
you think there must have been scenes that were cut out that explain
why he's not Viking with the AI.

C'mon. Tell us what we need to know.

Is there a nubile teenage girl having sex shortly before she gets
murdered by the AI, hopefully with not safe for Ian nudity?

Closest it comes is the high school-age daughter whose boyfriend convinces her
to send him a nude selfie and then uses it to make a deepfake of her doing
porn and sends it around the school. The AI gets revenge on him on the girl's
behalf.

Not Viking?

That was supposed to be vibing. Siri changed it to Viking and I changed it
back and then Siri must have changed it again. Pretty ironic considering the
subject of the movie. The fucking AI was bound and determined for me to say
Viking no matter what.
