    Britain still has a thriving horror movie business...

    If this film is anything to go by, very Hammer in its gothic settings which as far as I'm concerned is high praise. Role on more from the same creator.

    Old School Gothic Horror

    If you're looking for more modern horror and/or millions of dollars in CGI effects and actor's pay, perhaps this is not for you.

    If you like indie-horror and Hammer / United International Films (like Roger Corman's Poe films), then by all means dig in to this film. Beautifully shot and riveting.

    An excellent time for horror fans

    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.

    Phantom Horsemen!

    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!

    Nice Gothic Feel

    Lawrie Brewster and the Crew at Hex Studios keep getting better and better and I feel they're starting to hit they're stride.

    Automata: The Devil's Machine was the first time I Kickstarted a movie and I can honestly say I'm glad I did. The movie definitely oozes with style. Has good direction, solid acting and writing. The best part of the movie was the Doll herself.

    The biggest negative would probably be budget. You can tell this movie didn't have the biggest budget. But even with that it still comes off as well made. After watching a few of their other films I feel they're budgets will start to improve as they get more recognition. I really can't wait to their next one.

    Definitely give this one a chance if you looking for a horror movie with a more gothic feel to it. The's Devil's Machine will easily scratch that itch.
