Appofeniacs

HorrorThriller

Directed by Chris Marrs Piliero

When Duke goes on a frenzy of reckless deepfake creations, his callous disregard of consequences shows how, with a few clicks of an app on a phone, anyone can create a deceiving video of an unsuspecting victim and ruin their life… or end it. From TMDB

    There's a very unusual sci-fi/horror movie called APPOFENIACS opening today. If you're in the mood to have your mind blown by some cinematic craziness this weekend, you might want to check this one out. My review: aisleseat.com/appofeniacs.... #horrorsky #horror #filmsky

    I would have posted these short reviews after each film at FrightFest yesterday but BlueSky was being a total dick. I had a fun day, it made a great early birthday present. I'm going for the week next year for sure. But anyway, here is a thread of the films I saw yesterday. 📽️ #Filmsky Appofeniacs.

    Had a wonderful discussion with Sean Gunn about his new film Appofeniacs, the dangers of AI and deepfakes, his Marvel and DC future, and more. Really cool, thoughtful dude and a super interesting horror film worth your time. www.comingsoon.net/movies/featu...

    Just watched the extremely political film Appofeniacs at Frightfest followed by a Q&A in which the director said it isn't a political film. I can't put my finger on the stigma around that word but it's scary.

    First film of the day @frightfest.bsky.social was Appofeniacs and it was great. Combining deep fakes, cuckolding and cosplay through a Tarantino lens. Over the top in all the right ways, I loved, loved, loved it
