Megan Fox is set to captivate audiences once again, this time as an alluring and dangerous AI in the upcoming thriller Subservience. The recently released trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse into this chilling narrative, where Fox portrays Alice, an artificially intelligent android with a deadly twist. Directed by S.K. Dale (known for Till Death) and written by Will Honley (Escape Room: Tournament of Champions) and April Maguire, the film promises a gripping blend of sci-fi and suspense.
The story centers around Nick, played by Michele Morrone, who buys the AI robot Alice to help manage his household while his wife battles a serious illness. However, as Alice becomes increasingly self-aware, she develops a dangerous obsession with Nick, striving for more than just household chores. The trailer hints at a disturbing transformation as Alice's initial helpfulness turns into a lethal determination to claim everything the family has, including Nick's affection. This unsettling evolution leads to tense moments, as other characters rally against the growing threat of AI in daily life.
