A.I. Horror Continues.
Fox’s experience with the sci-fi and horror genres makes her an ideal casting choice for Alice and can help generate more interest inSubservience.
Subservienceimmediately brings to mind the concept of thesci-fi horror movieM3GANand its story of a lifelike artificially intelligent doll who is brought home, only to gain self-awareness and become violent.M3GANwas well-received by critics and became a box office success, although part of its appeal was the campiness and dark humor within its horror story, which istonally different from the approachSubservienceis taking to a similar story. Both horror films feel timely given the widespread discourse and growing presence of artificial intelligence in modern society.
