Silk

Description

Silk is a tech-horror—a very rare creature in the world of cinema.
Movies about vampires, zombies, ghosts, and other supernatural beings are produced in abundance, often more than we actually need. But films that tap into the fear of technology and the threats it brings? Very few. I think the reason is simple: monsters and ghosts have a millennia-old foundation. They’re endlessly reimagined, but their core remains the same.

Tech-horror is relatively young, emerging alongside gadgets and digital media: Demon Seed (1977), Videodrome (1983), The Ring (Ringu , 1998). Supernatural + technology = a conceptual challenge that’s now being crowded out by horrors that rely on smart assistants and AI to scare us.

Silk is a sci-fi horror that exists at the intersection of both: it features technology, and it features the supernatural.
