Scenario
The Curtis family is selected to test a new home device: a digital assistant called AIA. AIA learns the family’s behavior and begins to anticipate their needs. And she can make sure that nothing—and no one—gets in her family’s way. Blumhouse Productions has been a major force in the horror genre since 2007 when Paranormal Activity became a worldwide sensation.

If you can get past the little slow motion and it’s a pretty fast movie, the last 20 minutes are worth the wait.
And the ending is unsettling enough to make the sequel something to think about
