Remember the good ol’ days when horror movies and even cartoons like Scooby-Doo implored us to be on the lookout for the real harbingers of terror? The hyperbolic extent of invasive AI evil that films have now preoccupied themselves with often makes me wonder if the real, albeit much less fatalistic, byproducts of pattern mapping and, to a great capacity, self-governing technology isn’t a scaled-down manifestation of the illusory fear. Horror is clearly not done provoking the very concept of an all-powerful AI into inflicting its worst on people. Justin Gallaher and Sam Roseme’s Motion Detected delicately repurposes multiple age-old haunted house-lone victim tropes and infuses them with all-the-rage technology paranoia. The result is a sporadically upsurging sense of fright that is gratuitously tamed by the overindulged cliches. And even then, Motion Detected mindfully treads the line between the threadbare trope of a Ptsd-stricken woman in distress and...

When it comes to technological horror, it doesn’t take long for stories to become outdated. Something that never changes about the subgenre, however, is the overwhelming fear of daunting and suspicious new tech. With concerns about A.I. and smart devices being so prevalent these days, Justin Gallaher and Sam Roseme understandably tap into that specific dread with their movie Motion Detected.
Motion Detected begins like other tech-horrors; the dangerous device stays the same while the users change. After a family mysteriously disappears, a couple moves into their house. Of course the realtor fails to mention that information during the walk-through. None the wiser, Eva (Natasha Esca) and husband Miguel (Carlo Mendez) move in and get acquainted with Diablo Controls, their bizarrely named security system. The new owners have barely moved in when Miguel is called away for work back in Mexico City, the place they just left because Eva felt unsafe.
