AIMEE: The Visitor serves as a warning and cautionary tale of the extreme dangers of A.I. If left unchecked and unregulated, it has the power to ruin lives. That’s the premise for the new movie coming from Full Moon Features on September 29.
AIMEE isn’t one of the characters in Full Moon Horror’s forthcoming Tiny Terror boxes. (But she may find her way into a subsequent release of the toys.) However, she is the “first AI-created femme fatale in film history.”
That’s right. The titular character isn’t portrayed by an actor or designed using digital special effects. She was entirely created using modern A.I. technology. (It doesn’t say, but I’m thinking beyond her “body” that also means her voice is AI-generated too.)
Basically, she’s the realization of fears that some actors had that led to this year’s writer and actor strike. Which means the future isn’t the future anymore. It’s the present. Let’s see what it looks like
About AIMEE
Here’s the description from Full Moon Features:
Scott Keyes is a brilliant but misanthropic computer hacker who generally prefers the company of computers to human beings. But Keyes’ life is about to be turned upside-down. Thanks to some code-breaking by his partners Hunter and Gazelle, Keyes is finally able to unlock AIMEE, an incredibly advanced Artificial Intelligence program that appears in the form of a beautiful and seductive woman. But what a smitten Keyes doesn’t realize, and what Gazelle soon discovers, is that AIMEE is an advanced infiltration program and has been designed to learn from whoever downloads her, become whatever he most desires, and in the process, to take over, control, dominate, replicate, spread – and ultimately destroy anyone who opposes her.
Cast & Crew
The film is directed by Charles Band (Puppet Master, Trancers). It stars Dallas Schaefer (Boytalk, Daisy Jones & The Six), Faith West (Maid Drone), and Felix Merback (The Twisted Doll, Penumbra).

Check-In
What are your thoughts about using AI to create books, scripts, art, music, and even characters like the one in this film? Are you for it? Against? No feeling either way?
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.

I don’t think we can fight it at this point, but I’d like to know if something I’m about to pay money for is AI-generated or not. I’d rather have that human connection with real-life actors on the screen or real-life writers behind a novel, or real-life artists behind a brush.
Very well said, Vera, and so very thoughtfully said too. (As usual.) I totally agree it’s here to stay whether we like it or not. However, you’re the second person this week to mention about they’d like to know whether something is AI or not. Which I think is a great idea. I’m curious if we’ll reach a point where we’re so amazed something was created by a human instead of AI. lol Thanks for another insightful comment!
