MARGAUX (2022)

Margaux, the titular advanced AI system awaits a group of college seniors celebrating the culmination of their college days within the walls of the smart house. In the grand tradition of HAL 9000, Margaux begins to take on a deadly presence of her own. Soon, what was supposed to be a carefree weekend getaway transforms into a dystopian nightmare as the group of friends realizes Margaux's plans to eliminate her tenants. One question remains, can these soon-to-be college grads outsmart the smart home?

Ray Bradbury warned us about the dangers of making smart homes a little too smart for their own good in his short story "The Veldt." Naturally, we have yet to heed the warning as we continue to build them bigger and smarter than ever before! Directed by Steven C. Miller, written by Chris Beyrooty, and Nick Waters, and starring Madison Pettis, Vanessa Morgan, Richard Harmon, Lochlyn Munro, Jedidiah Goodacre, Phoebe Miu, Jordan Buhat, Brittany Mitchell, and Louis Lay.

Take a look at the official trailer below, Margaux comes home via digital September 9, 2022.
