Coming Attractions- Afraid (2024)

 


Director- Chris Weitz


Cast- John Cho, Katherine Waterston, Riki Lindhome, Keith Carradine, Havana Rose Liu, David Dastmalchian, Lukita Maxwell, Isaac Bae, Greg Hill, Ben Youcef, Wyatt Lindner


Release Date- August 30, 2024


Artificial intelligence is a hot topic for many reasons, so Afraid already has some potential as a timely film. They revealed a bit too much here, but it’s still a good trailer that teases a suspenseful sci-fi horror movie. 


John Cho and Katherine Waterston are always reliable for solid and good performances, but I have concerns about AIA as a threat. I’m just hoping they don’t drag out the obvious “we need to get out of the house” calamity. The family is obviously in danger. Staying in the house after clear warning signs usually doesn’t end well, but it also looks like they’re going with a storyline, where the boy gets too attached to AIA to cover any plot holes.
