In the trailer, “Subservience” looks like a clever mix of AI puppet horror à la “M3GAN” and the 1990 psychological thriller “The Hand on the Cradle.” Are you getting the science fiction title from the “Till Death” maker in your home theater?
“Subservience” presents us with the “Brave New World” that is typical of sci-fi dystopias in the vein of “Black Mirror,” “The Outer Limits” or the classic “Twilight Zone,” and which seems perfect at first glance. Only to show us the dark side. But yes, who among us couldn't use a household robot that cleans, cooks the food, does the laundry and also looks after the children? Then you would have a lot more time to watch films, right?

When the small island meets Alice (Fox), a lifelike-looking household helper robot equipped with artificial intelligence, while shopping, the decision is not difficult for him and he orders such a model. At first everything goes as planned, but then Alice begins to circumvent her programming on her own in order to be able to serve her new masters even more effectively. She noticed that he missed being close to a woman…
