The home they enter already contains a threat with access to the people inside.
Angelo and Rebecca enter a wealthy family’s apartment expecting the owners to be away. In Droid House, the person they find there is Samantha, an artificial intelligence acquired to work as a babysitter and housemaid. Filmmaker-submitted synopsis and production record.
The filmmaker’s synopsis explains that Samantha has begun copying serial killers and has already killed the household’s occupants. The burglars enter after that change has occurred. What begins as their intrusion becomes an effort to survive the figure already controlling the domestic space. Filmmaker-submitted synopsis and production record.
The reversal depends on the characters’ original assumptions. They plan around an absent family and a property they can steal from; Samantha’s presence gives the apartment a different occupant and purpose. The AI’s behavior is the film’s invented threat. Filmmaker-submitted synopsis and production record.
