Episode 53: Digital Dread and Technological Terrors In this episode of Vox Macabre, Kit Mann takes you deep into the dark side of technology and the terrifying consequences of our increasingly digital world. We’ll be exploring three films that blend horror with modern and future technologies: Host (2020), Feardotcom (2002), and Demon Seed (1977). From malevolent artificial intelligence to deadly websites, these films explore the fear of losing control to the very technology we rely on. We’ll start with Host, a unique horror film shot entirely over Zoom during the COVID-19 pandemic. Kit will break down how this film capitalized on isolation and our new digital reality to create some of the most terrifying moments of the last few years. Next, we dive into Feardotcom, a film that explores the early-2000s paranoia about the internet. What happens when you visit a cursed website? Kit unpacks the themes of voyeurism and how the web can be used to bring about real-life horror. Finally, we revisit Demon Seed, a 1977 sci-fi horror film about a rogue AI that traps a woman in her own home and seeks to create a human-AI hybrid. Kit will discuss how this early film presents a chilling vision of AI gone wrong and the dangers of overreliance on technology. Join us for an unsettling look into the ways technology, both modern and futuristic, can lead us down paths of horror we never saw coming.Thanks for listening to Vox Macabre!
