Automata

I loved it - for me if the world at large gives a horror movie a rating ox X ... I just add 2 to it. And this movie is an 7 / 10 for me and any other die hard horror lover.

Watch it - its amazing what independent movie makers are capable of.

I loved the premise and decided to give it a chance. Glad I did! It's a beautifully shot film and a welcome addition to the horror genre.

This film embodies what horror should be. Not gore factor, but pushing the edges of sanity. Disturbing without being completely broken. Horror that happens in the realm of the "possible" is what makes something that will stick in your brain and eat at your psyche for weeks to come. Yes this is occult in nature and therefore outside the actual realm of possible as a whole, but many elements are very much a dissection of human nature and question what happens if we toe that line of decency and morality. What happens when something gets in your head and causes an obsession. How far will a person go in the right circumstances. This movie will not scare you, it will not horrify you, but it will get in your head in an uncomfortable way. That is the type of horror this is. The plot may not be amazingly innovative, but it twists on itself enough to keep you engaged and slowly drags you into the hell of the characters. For an indie film, the production quality and acting are very good for the most part. Recognize that because this came out of a Kickstarter, the weakest showing is likely the person who paid for a guest appearance, and it's dismissively brief. Overall it's brilliant to see what can be done on a small budget, and the main characters have a clear talent. It's a UK production and has that feel which is not to some folks liking so be aware of that. For fans of the sub genre and style, this is a must see.

As expected of the director, this is yet another great, creative horror movie with a unique premise without the cliches of horror protagonists acting like idiots leading to their deaths.

I enjoyed The Devils Machine aka (Automata) especially the Phantom Horsemen can't say no more as I do not want to ruin anyones fun by giving any spoilers. Brewster's storytelling is quite addictive! If you enjoy it like I did I may like to recommend his earlier films Lord of Tears,The Black Gloves or Unkindness of Ravens. The Owlman is a cool creature! Beware the Owlman!
