AI, Action, And Horror Combine For ‘Monsters OF Man’

I don’t know about you, but I have a real fear of AI going terribly wrong. That happens to be the premise of the sci-fi thriller Monsters of Man, which is currently running an Indiegogo campaign. In his stunning directorial debut, Mark Toia combines non-stop action with powerful special effects to explore AI, corruption, and the terrifying possibilities of future warfare. The movie “reveals the consequences of unchecked power and robots who have advanced beyond human control. When a corrupt CIA agent (Neil McDonough) teams up with a robotics company to deploy an illegal, unsanctioned military operation, the plan is to drop four prototype robots into a suspected drug manufacturing camp in the Golden Triangle that no one will miss. The mission is to prove the robotics company is worthy of winning a lucrative military contract but all goes horribly awry when six American volunteer doctors witness the brutal slaughter of an innocent village and are forced into a deadly
