Afraid presents a promising premise of an AI assistant gone rogue butultimately falls short due to mediocre execution and **lazy writing proving to be a missed opportunity to explore deeper themes, instead opting for predictable horror tropes. The film features minimal jump scares and lacks genuine tension, making it feel like a generic thriller rather than an engaging horror experience. Performances by John Cho and Katherine Waterston are described as uninspired, contributing to the film's sluggish pacing. While it raises relevant questions about AI's role in our lives, the narrative fails to deliver a compelling conflict, leaving audiences disappointed with its anticlimactic conclusion.
