# cloud red (data center ai horror movie)
if you suspected humanity was already and secretly at war with artificial intelligence how would you prove it without being caught up in the war yourself?

fake a24 movie poster
set at a giant labyrinthine ai data center in the middle of small town nowhere - with the physical structure itself as the main protagonist
the data center ai slowly starts actively reaching out into the wider community to _quietly_ bypass disrupt and derail anything preventing both it's existence and subsequent planned expansion and influence
eventually it becomes powerful enough to change reality itself
only an independent investigative journalist stands in it's way
with a bass heavy john carpenter 80's style soundtrack
think 'halloween 3: season of the witch' meets the parallax view - with that extra-dimensional scene from phantasm
the cheap twist: turns out it's the evil idiot ceo behind it all using ai for his own ends - and the ai is learning from him
at some point she views early founding footage of technicians performing some kind of bizarre cult ritual to their newly appointed ai god
it is now down to the journalist to make friends with i.t (this is the 'robots are our friend' japanese ending though it ends on a distinctly unsure note)
