AUTOMATON

About This Movie

AUTOMATON (2022) offers a gritty mix of action, horror, and thriller elements that pulls you in from the start. The film’s atmosphere is really oppressive, almost claustrophobic, as the boy faces off against these zombie-like creatures. The practical effects are quite striking; you can almost feel the tension in the air as these familiar faces become unrecognizable. The pacing keeps you on edge, balancing moments of quiet dread with sudden bursts of violence. There’s something haunting about the themes of identity and betrayal here, making it stick with you long after the credits roll. It’s definitely got that raw, indie vibe that some collectors appreciate, even if the director's name remains a mystery.
