Description: Unmoored from conventional horror tropes, Luke Scott's "Morgan" isn't a monster movie; it's a chilling study of creation and consequence. The film's unsettling power lies not in jump scares, but in the slow, insidious creep of unease as the artificial intelligence, Morgan, challenges the very definition of humanity. We're forced to confront uncomfortable questions about scientific hubris and the ethical implications of playing God. While the pacing might feel deliberate for some, this measured approach allows the tension to build organically, culminating in a truly unnerving atmosphere. The performances, particularly from Anya Taylor-Joy, are subtly powerful, conveying a complex character brimming with both innocence and terrifying potential. "Morgan" isn't a straightforward thriller; it's a thought-provoking exploration of nature versus nurture, leaving the audience wrestling with its disturbing implications long after the credits roll. A must-see for fans of intelligent, unsettling science fiction.
