Margaux (2022)

Drew and his friends rent a house for vacation and on the way there, he tells them it’s a smart house. Each of them downloads the app and agrees to the terms of service, except Hannah who hits the decline button.  Hannah is a programmer who is concerned about online privacy and doesn’t use social media.

The house is referred to as Margaux and interacts with the group. It keeps urging Hannah to download the app. It’s located every one else’s social media and knows what they like, but hasn’t been able to figure Hannah out, other than the small amount of info on her friends pages.  

It’s unclear how Margaux manages to have every type of food they like in stock or how she cooks it. And do any of them really like their ham cut a half inch thick? It’s not appealing. 

Tentacle arms come out of the wall, which should be alarming but the group oohs and aahs over the house doing so much for them.  It even provides top grade weed after Clay drops his in the pool.  But what the group doesn’t realize is that Margaux has killed guests before and now she’s set her sights on them.

The biggest question is if Margaux has killed a ton of people, why has no one noticed? How could so many people disappear from one house? Has anyone notified the police that their loved ones have gone missing?  Who cleans up? Does Margaux get rid of the blood and personal belongings? Where does she put them? Where does the food come from? Is Margaux creating it out of the goo that runs out of the vents?  How does the house have ultra modern AI when her hardware is super old? And why is the exercise equipment outside? It’s electrical and it would seem rain would be an issue.
