No pun intended - I do wonder if the main couple made this to ... well have a cathartic effect and feel to it. Eliza Taylor and her husband do reunite for this movie ... I reckon they found themselves on the 100 set ... I assume their marriage is way more mellow and with less problems and issues. Technology has come a long way. Modern and smart houses are supposed to be helping us. Of course if we are ... not right in the head, what can the house do ... or is it the house (AI) who is doing something? Or a human? Who is to blame? The husband is not really without fault and flaws either ... would you leave your fiance when she clearly struggles? If you like thriller movies, this may be for you ... but you have to suspend your disbelief for this to work ... Hopefully I'll be able to meet Eliza this year - I am curious how she feels about the movie and her role ... she even produced this ...

Ok for one the husband is medium dork ugly because he's a total gaslighter, and her cat gets killed via clothes dryer, the hubs suggests she unwittingly did this to the cat, which is preposterous considering she is a. Well aware kitty likes the dryer to sleep in b. The cat is the only one in this movie not trying to hurt this woman. It personally makes me angry when animal characters & child characters are offed in movies. There's too many stories where that is unnecessarily thrown in and no one avenges the deaths at all & its not really a part of anything, it feels like a cheap shot script-wise, because it is for lack of main character development. The actors are great as we know but the script is mundane at best.

Julie Alexander (Eliza Taylor) is a painter at an exhibit of her art. She is there with her sister Rebecca (Hannah Fierman) and friend Sophie (Natasha Halevi). Her husband Marcus (Bob Morley) calls and claims he can't make it, the plane just landed. Julie has forgotten to give her cat its medication, Rebecca volunteers to leave so Julie can stay. While at Julie's place, she is attacked and killed. Clearly Julie was the intended victim. After therapy, they move to a new remote house. Marcus has created an AI named Hera who controls the whole house. After a few days, Marcus must go to Hong Kong and leave Julie alone. Clues are dropped. There is 20K in crypto currency missing from his account. Julie's attempt to leave and visit Sophie is thwarted. The previous owner of the house went missing and she seems to have an invisible stalker. Eliza Taylor must carry the film on her own. She hears things in the middle of the night while taking medication and drinking. It is up to the audience to try to figure things out with only two possible characters being the killer. Not bad, but it has some slow scenes. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

I actually think that the actors did a great job. I also think that to me it was fairly obvious how everything was going to go at least half way through the movie. You? Have. A husband that is barely around for his wife, his wife just lost her sister and expected her to just get over it in 5 months. I feel like the doctor was in cahoots with the husband because they constantly made Julie out to be the bad guy the whole time. He wanted them to have some vacation time together, by going to some vacation house only for him to disappear doing the same thing that he was doing before they even came out here. I had a feeling that either he was in on it or either the A. I. System was in on it because the whole time Julie was losing her mind, like literally. Everytime she call him or he calls her, he was always busy and nowhere to be found along with his AI system when she really needed them. I think this movie would have done a whole lot better had the ending been totally different rather than making him out to be the hero.

Julie (Eliza Taylor) is mourning the loss of her sister when her tech geek husband Marcus (Bob Morley) goes away for a weekend, leaving her within their gadget-filled high security home. Seeing as how this is a thriller, well, you can imagine that things go wrong. Julie's been dealing with guilt ever since she sent her sister Rebecca (Hannah Fierman) to feed her cat and gets her killed by someone hiding inside her place. Months later, her husband and her therapist Dr. Tate (Bryan Batt) have come up with a plan, by moving her out of that place of trauma, and into that aforementioned high security house. That said, the security system that Marcus created, Hera, didn't protect Rebecca all that well. Yes, it's everything you expect: a woman being potentially gaslit -- Did you take your pills? You know what your doctor said! -- while dealing with guilt and a bad marriage. And when someone gets in the house -- the same house whose last owner went mysteriously missing -- well, you know exactly where this movie is going. The couple at the heart of this, Taylor and Morely, are an actual married couple and appeared on the show The 100 together. He's barely in this, watching from afar, but man, I hope their real marriage is better than the one in this movie. I also kind of hope that their marriage is better than this movie. Director Erik Benard and writers Elisa Manzini and Sara Sometti Michaels don't really add anything new to gaslit wife genre -- is it a genre? -- but if you're looking for a movie where a robot vacuum cleaner hobbles a heroine who may be going hysterical, this is here for you. It looks nice, sounds great and sadly doesn't seem to go anywhere new until the end of the movie throws in some twists. Look, my mom has Alexa running her house and it just keeps repeating and answering questions wrong, as well as always turning on the incorrect lights. I'll stick with light switches. Or maybe candles, I'm becoming a luddite, other than all the time I spend updating this site.
