Afraid | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

AfrAId‘s cultish thread actually becomes its most compelling for a time... But none of these threads are quite seen through. They’re often just hinted at and left largely unexplored, cut off, or resolved before much can be made of them.

AfrAId is the latest Blumhouse release that feels like a script for a horror short that got a few million bucks to make a quick weekend profit. Not even the AI feels like it wants to be here as we go through a cliche family drama with some jump scares.

Won’t shock, awe, entertain or make anyone “AfrAId.”

It’s all a bunch of gobbledygook that builds toward a nonsensical finale, hoping to achieve the best of every world. At the same time, I sat and hoped this was all just a simulation of me having to deal with a bad movie.

Thinly written, confusingly acted, and completely inconsistent in every way that matters, Afraid is bottom of the barrel for tech-based horror.
