The Drone

This movie cannot be taken seriously. Its plot on one hand ridiculous and on the other perhaps a glimpse of a future where AI does go too far.

However I still watched it to the end and somehow enjoyed it.

My advice....take it as it is.

It's not a bad movie if you don't try to take it seriously from the moment it starts. It's daft. For the main not really funny just plain daft. Through and through. Nothing and I mean nothing in the film is to be taken serious. I can manage this which means the film is interesting. Carries itself well and keeps you engaged. The only thing that I have a problem is why oh why did no one take a baseball bat to the Drone once it was realised that it had become a problem? Anyway ..

It's a similar concept to that of Child's Play, except for some reason it feels completely absurd to suggest a drone could be possessed by an evil spirit and not a doll, which is arguably the wrong way round.

So, it's the old tale of bad guy gets killed and his spirit enters a drone. The drone is then found by an unsupecting couple and becomes part of their family and proceeds to mess up their lives bit by bit.

It's packed with cheesy lines and unbelievably silly moments but is in fact quite fun and also funny. It's probably more of a straight comedy than a horror or thriller so don't expect a dark movie with black humour - it's very light entertainment, with a few bloody moments but nothing too surprising.

Utterly ridiculous but at least self-aware.

Take the concept of Chucky from Child's Play, substitute it with a drone, add in the worst dialogue, then give it a budget of $30. This movie isn't supposed to be that funny, but the sheer stupidity and unbelievable writing makes it humorous to watch with friends. The story is riddled with plot holes, the effects are very limited, and the characters are nonsensical. If you like "so bad it's good," then you can have fun with this one.

How do films like these get financed? Absolutely bonkers to think that people pay to make these kind of films, let alone anyone watches them. Avoid like the plague.
