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.

Appofeniacs takes a genuine concern of modern technology and amplifies it to horrifying results. I wish the segregated storylines had more of an impactful through line by the end, but the insanity and carnage made for some sick entertainment. Go to Full Review Aidan Kelley Collider Oct 14
7/10
Appofeniacs does have some issues with its overall narrative and the structure therein, with not every puzzle piece coming together, but the movie's core commentary on AI and how it's being used is worth seeing and discussing. Go to Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Oct 6
4/5
The characters are larger than life, each with a distinctive look, to make it easier to keep track. The effect is rather like being at a drunken fancy dress party. Go to Full Review Trace Thurman Bloody Disgusting Sep 30
3.5/5
A cautionary tale for our current times that’s as thrilling as it is horrifying with its real-world implications. Go to Full Review Frantz Jerome Black Nerd Problems Sep 30
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. Go to Full Review Alan French Sunshine State Cineplex Sep 25
7/10
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
