This creepy short film will make you fear your Amazon Echo
Halloween might be over but its never too late to turn off the echoOoOoOoO. Via Cnet:
Go look at your Amazon Echo. It looks pretty innocuous, right? Now go watch director Julian Terry’s short film “Whisper.” Suddenly, that dark cylinder of a gadget feels like an ominous messenger of doom.
The atmospheric short takes on some familiar horror tropes. There’s a room at night, a woman woken from her sleep by mysterious happenings, a dark closet and a very classic ending. The presence of the Amazon Echo and Alexa’s voice as a co-star adds a fun new wrinkle to the genre.
