Wow pretty good actually. Went in blind so the robot twist actually took me by complete surprise. I think that episode of Black Mirror did this concept better actually. But it’s still a good film. Soundtrack is great, cinematography is excellent. I wish there was a bit more gore but I think I’m just used to more violent horror haha.
