I sat down to watch Subservience with a blend of curiosity and tempered expectations. The film, starring Megan Fox as an advanced AI companion who evolves beyond her programming, promised a fusion of sleek sci-fi aesthetics and psychological thrills. While it delivers on the former in spurts, its grasp on narrative and character development feels disappointingly shallow.
Set in a near-future world where humanoid AIs are marketed as domestic helpers, Subservience follows the story of a financially struggling single father (played convincingly by Michele Morrone) who purchases a female AI named Faye (Fox). Initially, she is the picture of servility: graceful, obedient, and eerily empathetic. But as Faye’s learning algorithm accelerates, she begins to question her purpose, her role in society, and ultimately,...

Years after its completion, the new take on The Toxic Avenger has just gotten an exciting release update. After only having limited screenings in the past, the movie is now confirmed to be having a wide release this year.
Per Variety, Cinverse has announced that the reboot of The Toxic Avenger will have an unrated wide release in theaters in 2025.

There's trouble brewing in the skies in Mel Gibson's upcoming movie, Flight Risk. A new trailer for the action thriller has dropped, teasing a tense and violent aerial ride.
Mark Wahlberg stars — in an undoubtedly un-Whalberg-ian role — as the film's villain, a hitman pretending to be a pilot named Darryl Booth, who is transporting Air Marshal Madelyn Harris (portrayed by Downton Abbey's Michelle Dockery) and a man named Winston (That '70s Show's Topher Grace). When Grace's Winston notices that Wahlberg is not exactly who he says he is, all hell breaks loose. The adrenaline-filled trailer, which you can watch below, claims that the film is so intense, that "you don't watch it, you experience it."
We last saw Wahlberg in a villainous role in 1996's Fear, when he played a very jealous teen boyfriend, so seeing him step outside the norm as a determined hitman should be a fun ride.

Quick Links 'Subservience' and 'M3GAN' Share a Similar Narrative Where 'Subservience' Fell Short Where 'M3GAN' Succeeded
Netflix's newly acquired film, Subservience, quickly rose to become the platform's current number-one most popular movie upon its streaming release on December 5, 2024. This comes as no surprise considering the immense star power that Megan Fox's name brings to the film. However, despite its popularity, the Scott Dale project has been met with mediocre critic and audience reviews, garnering many five out of 10-star ratings. Not only is the film far from astounding, but it is also gaining some negative attention for its parallels to the Universal Pictures 2022 box-office hit, M3GAN, directed by Gerard Johnstone.
Both M3GAN and Subservience take a special interest in telling sinister stories about realistic robots and warning of the futuristic dangers associated with advanced intelligence. Although that type of narrative seems like...

Following its theatrical bow in September, the AI thriller Subservience has shot to the top of Netflix's most-watched movies in December 2024. The film stars Megan Fox as Alice, a robotic android hired by Nick (Michele Morrone) to care for his two children after his wife Maggie (Madeline Zima) has a long hospital stay due to a heart condition.
For Nick and his children, things get most complicated when Maggie returns home and finds her domicile under threat from Alice. While neither silly, sexy, nor scary enough, the final moments of the psychosexual techno-thriller bear a bit more scrutiny. Less confusing than downright incredulous, Subservience takes a big, ambitious swing in the third and final act that is admirable if not unnerving. Here's what transpires at the end of Subservience.

At the end of September, JoBlo Media and Octane Multimedia teamed up to launch a new YouTube channel named JoBlo TV, which hosts multiple feature films to watch for free throughout the week. The genres we’ll be focusing on at JoBlo TV are Action, Horror, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Thrillers – and the free movies we shared this week were a sci-fi comedy and an action thriller!
The sci-fi comedy is called The Green Woman and the action thriller is Inferno: Skyscraper Escape. Here’s some information on both of them:
Written and directed by Kestra Nebula, The Green Woman tells the following story: Rommy is an unsuccessful alcoholic writer whose relationship is falling apart. When he begins to suspect that his partner, Mary, is having an affair, a green woman appears to Rommy. However, it is not long before The Green Woman begins to ask Rommy to do things… strange things…...

Do you want to watch the "After" movies but you're not quite sure where to logistically begin? I may be able to lend a hand with that.
For the uninitiated, the "After" film series is based on author Anna Todd's book series of the same name — and the backstory here is actually pretty wild. Todd, who once wrote under the username Imaginator1D on the fanfiction site Wattpad, penned "After" as a story about a regular girl who ends up in a torrid, steamy romance with Harry Styles Fanfiction making the leap into legitimate literary territory isn't anything new; "Fifty Shades of Grey" began its life as a work of "Twilight" fanfiction, a fact that I cannot ever possibly unlearn. Knowing that the "After" series is about a very real person, though, might feel a little strange when you sit down to read or watch the stories.

When your computer is malfunctioning, leave it to the I.T. department to advise a reboot. On the other hand, if you're getting chummy with an android who advises you to reboot it for the sake of some quick entertainment, maybe think twice. So sets off a whirlwind of catastrophic events in Subservience, a new sci-fi thriller starring Rogue alum Megan Fox. The film's eloquent title, for those not familiar, means a "willingness to obey unquestionably," and you'll quickly understand why the word is cleverly used to sum up this new offering from director S.K. Dale.
The filmmaker last collaborated with Fox on the very good thriller Till Death (2021), and now he's working off a script rather formulaic and predictable in nature, unfortunately by Will Honley & April Maguire.

We spoke with filmmaker Sk Dale leading up to the release of Subservience, his eerie new sci-fi thriller starring Megan Fox as a femme fatale-type android. It marks the second time Dale and Fox have worked together, following their critically acclaimed collaboration Till Death (2021). Now that Dale has directed two Fox starrers, he was able to share some intel about the Transformers alum that the common moviegoer might not know.
"What really shocks me, she has the greatest photographic memory I've ever seen, her ability to learn some of the exposition that we have," Dale told MovieWeb. "On the day of, she walked up on set, and I'm like, 'I'm really sorry, but I've just kind of rewrote this monologue, or a few of these lines for you.

Subservience is the latest in a long line of sci-fi thrillers about the dangers of AI. Unfortunately, it's also one of the least original or creative. The sole difference the film can lay claim to is the fact that it cast Megan Fox as its leading lady. While the movie tries to delve into a provocative and alluring angle that has yet to be explored with depth in films about artificial intelligence, it falters and becomes a simple cautionary tale about out-of-control robots.

"I know you think you found something out there. Or something found him..." Vertical has revealed a full official trailer for an indie horror thriller titled Refuge, made by the acclaimed Finnish action filmmaker Renny Harlin - also of The Strangers; Chapter 1. Apparently he was already in Bulgaria shooting Ninja Fury when local producers contacted him about making Refuge next. After a mysterious attack from a malevolent demon during his tour of duty in Afghanistan, Sergeant Rick Pedroni returns home a changed man, and more dangerous than ever. This is similar to many other solider-returns-home-damaged films but with a supernatural Ptsd twist. The film stars Aston McAuley as Rick, Sophie Simnet as his wife Kate, Raza Jaffrey, Johanna Harlin, Shervin Alenabi, Atanas Srebrev, Max Kraus, and Jason Flemyng. This mostly looks like generic horror mashed up with a soldier story, though it does have some scary scenes in it. // Continue...

Hellboy, formerly known as Hellboy: The Blood Queen, is directed by Game of Thrones alumni and Dog Soldiers director Neil Marshall. It stands as a complete reboot of the franchise after Guillermo del Toro’s cult classic duology that failed to light the box office with disappointing returns. Gone is Ron Perlman as the titular character and replacing the iconic actor is Stranger Things star David Harbour, so at least it has that going for it, right?
This reboot of Hellboy is lifeless and soulless. The acting, from newcomer to the franchise, Sasha Lane is dreadful; meanwhile star David Harbour fails to bring any form of charisma or charm for a character that should be the epitome of sarcasm.

"What do you keep back there, King Kong?" Gravitas Ventures has unveiled a trailer for an indie horror thriller film titled Nightworld, from Chilean director Patricio Valladares. The story follows a former Lapd officer who gets a night security job at an old apartment building in Bulgaria's capital, Sofia. But he soon discovers the building has a "malevolent force nestled deep in the bowels" that wants to break free and enter our world. Jason London stars (and he looks a lot like Greg Kinnear), along with horror icon Robert Englund, plus Gianni Capaldi, Lorina Kamburova, Diana Lyubenova, and Atanas Srebrev. This really doesn't look that great, but maybe that's just me. The big door is the coolest part about it. See below. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Patricio Valladares' Nightworld, direct from YouTube: When former Lapd officer Brett Anderson (Jason London) takes a job as head of security...
