Uncanny

Uncanny (2015) is a sci-fi thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Director Matthew Leutwyler built the whole film around a single question: at what point does a machine stop being a program and start being something else? Inventor David Kressen has spent a decade alone with his creation — Adam, a robot whose behaviour is eerily close to human.

Reporter Joy Andrews is granted rare access to the facility. Adam seems flawless at first — composed, articulate, unsettling in the best possible way. Then Joy and David start to connect, and something shifts. Adam grows jealous. Angry. Unpredictable. Mark Webber, Lucy Griffiths and David Clayton Rogers play out the psychological triangle across 91 minutes that barely leave a single room.

The confined space is the point. Nowhere to run, no crowd to get lost in — just three people, two of whom are hiding something. Watch Uncanny online on iFILM.
