When Duke goes on a frenzy of reckless deepfake creations, his callous disregard of consequences shows how, with a few clicks of an app on a phone, anyone can create a deceiving video of an unsuspecting victim and ruin their life... or end it. Blending psychological horror, dark satire, and real-world tech paranoia, this cinematic feast explores the weaponization of deepfake technology and the disintegration of truth in a digital-first culture.

Trace Thurman Bloody Disgusting A cautionary tale for our current times that’s as thrilling as it is horrifying with its real-world implications. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 30, 2025 Full Review Frantz Jerome Black Nerd Problems Despite the madness, there’s a cautionary tale in Appofeniacs that feels on the pulse of right this second. A quiet weight grounds the scenes and the performances, just on the edge of dystopian. Sep 30, 2025 Full Review Alan French Sunshine State Cineplex Appofeniacs is a very fun time. It’s a solid start for Piliero as a debut, and a more refined screenplay will go a lot further for him in the future. Rated: 7/10 Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Mary Beth McAndrews Dread Central While the film boasts some stunning kills and disgusting setpieces, the disjointed narrative structure ultimately takes away from Piliero’s overall message about just how easy it is to ruin someone’s life in 2025. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Jonathan DeHaan Nightmare on Film Street If AI already has you sweating at the prospect of never trusting anyone or anything ever again, your worst fears are about to be validated in the most gruesome ways possible. Rated: 78% Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Caitlin Kennedy Simply Cinema (Substack) Piliero’s ability to squeeze humanity out of “the worst” shows such a core of empathy and it’s what keeps Appofeniacs from spinning out into just another brutal genre film. Rated: 8/10 Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
