AfrAId (2024) Movie REVIEW: AI is Scary… When It Writes Blumhouse Movies

Haunt Former delivers an 11-minute critical review of Blumhouse's 2024 theatrical release Afraid, a horror film centered on the dangers of AI. The reviewer uses the film's shortcomings as the hook for a comedic and pointed critique, suggesting the screenplay itself feels like it could have been AI-generated. While tangentially Halloween-adjacent through its horror-genre framing, this is primarily a film commentary video rather than a haunt or Halloween production tutorial.
