Hey Ami, who should I kill today?
According to Hollywood, technology has been trying to kill us for decades now — whether it’s Hal 9000 or Skynet — but in a new slasher horror film called “Ami,” it’s your smart phone’s A.I. assistant, not unlike the Siri or Alexa currently sitting in your pocket, that does the dirty work.
TheWrap has the exclusive first look trailer for the film, which stars Debs Howard (“iZombie”) as Cassie, a high school student who customizes her new artificial intelligence assistant Ami to have a voice that sounds eerily like her deceased mother. As Cassie’s relationship deepens with Ami, her device starts convincing her to perform heinous acts of violence. Now how’s that for a software update?

"Did you, by chance, open the book?" XLrator Media has debuted the first official trailer for an interesting genre mashup titled Residue, a neo-noir thriller mixed with supernatural horror. The story follows a private investigator who reads a book of sinister origins owned by seedy crime lord. This (think Evil Dead) puts his daughter and himself in a fight for their lives, and their eternal souls. Starring James Clayton as Luke Harding, as well as Matt Frewer, Michael Matic, Costas Mandylor, Alika Autran, Dan Payne, William B. Davis, Elysia Rotaru, and Taylor Hickson as his daughter Angelina.

Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Rusty Nixon's Residue,...
