'Afraid' Review - A Frankenstein'ed Monstrosity of Different Horror Movies

From the co-director of The Golden Compass and About a Boy comes a noncommittal horror downgrade allergic to plotted follow-throughs. Chris Weitz's Afraid er, AfrAId (stop) can't decide which generic "AI is evil!" route to follow. Kernels of decent techno-horror commentaries never pop, whether that's Weitz's bungle or studio tampering that hacks away any intrigue from this low-power Smart House remix. It's a Frankenstein'ed monstrosity made of different horror approaches, except instead of bringing something to life, unrevivable ideas remain limp and useless.
