Review of Uncanny (2015) by Tanya H — 01 Sep 2016

Thought provoking movie, genius scripting with a twist most can't see. This movie was made before Ex Machina, but because it was low budget took longer to be released. But honestly it is nothing like Ex Machina, anyone that thinks the two stories are anything alike must have been asleep while watching this. Once you see the amazing twist you will wonder how they managed to fool you, but once you figure out the twist, and you have to figure it out. If you only like spoon fed popcorn don't watch this movie or you may hurt your brain cell. This movie challenges your brain, you have to think about what is being said and what is being shown.

Once you see the amazing twist you will wonder how hardly anyone got it, they pretty much spell it out. This is the Uncanny effect. This is the effect of not seeing what we don't want to see in favour of something we can deal with, and that is the true genius of this movie.
