MONTREAL — Pure Taboo has announced the release of "Smart House of Horrors," a new "Future Darkly" scene, which is now available exclusively at PureTaboo.com.
Written by 2018 XBIZ Director of the Year Bree Mills, who co-directed alongside Craven Moorehead, the latest installment in the "Future Darkly" sci-fi series (the first of which — "Artifamily" — XBIZ covered as an on-set exclusive), "Smart House of Horrors" features Jane Wilde, Donnie Rock and Angela White.
Newly married couple Wilde and Rock are introduced to their "smart home" by realtor White. The home has an in-house robotic concierge named Joy and all goes well in their house of the future … until it does not.
“Joy… stop,” warns Rock as the automated assistant begins to intrude on their most intimate moments. “I don’t want to live in this smart house anymore,” cries Wilde. “Joy…” commands Rock, “open the front door!” “I’m sorry…” replies Joy coldly, “I’m afraid I can’t do that…”
The episode explores the downside to "convenient" technology and humanity's increasing reliance on it.
“It’s a slippery slope we’re traveling on with consumer tech, and I think people are starting to realize this,” Mills said. “For every upside to these ‘smart’ machines, there is a very real downside, and it’s 'we need to pay attention to how it affects us in the real world.'”
The trailer and full movie are available here. The first three installments of the "Future Darkly" series, "Artifamily," "The White Room" and "Don’t Panic!" are out now at PureTaboo.com. Go to the site's official cast page to find out more about "Smart House of Horrors" stars Wilde and White.
