“A kinetic sci-fi riff fashioned from scrap metal and human entrails, nervily updating Cronenbergian body horror for the iOS era.”~Boston Globe

Aroview: Futuristic body horror about a man who "upgrades" his body using an AI implant called STEM after his wife is murdered - the kicker of the concept being that the implant has its own will and consciousness...

Directed by the writer of the first three SAW movies and the entire INSIDIOUS franchise, this is a sure-footed, innovative revenge thriller with a concept worthy of the techno paranoia of BLACK MIRROR. A franchise is all but assured.

2 stars (Good Try) It is better than a lot of action films as the screenplay has some elements of intelligence. Some of the set designs and the use of lighting are also worthy of attention. ~Tubbs

4 stars (Very Good) A clever story, top action scenes and a strong lead performance add up to a highly entertaining movie. With a touch more social commentary this could almost be a modern Robocop. ~Pearce
