Upgrade belongs to several movie sub-genres. It's a possession movie; a Frankenstein story; and an A.I.-gone-wrong film.
Venom may have broken October box-office records but neither it nor Freddy's Revenge can hold a candle to Upgrade as a dark tale about two minds inhabiting the same body.
Ex-Machina aspired to be The Bride of Frankenstein for the Digital Age but pales in comparison. As classic as it is, Robocop is an 80s movie -- and looks like it -- and its 2014 remake is a sink full of dishwater.
We've seen the dangers of unchecked artificial intelligence before but Upgrade is way tf more exciting than Blade Runner. It's also a murder-mystery that even seasoned movie buffs won't unravel ahead of time.
