Streaming And Screaming: ‘Upgrade’
by Tito W. James
t’s spooky season the perfect time curl up and watch something creepy. Streaming and Screaming is where we give horror recommendations for scaredy cats old and new.
Set in the near-future, technology controls nearly all aspects of life. But when Grey, a self-identified technophobe, has his world turned upside down, his only hope for revenge is an experimental computer chip implant called Stem.
Upgrade is criminally underrated film that plays out like a feature length episode of Black Mirror. I recall seeing this film in theaters and the first murder was so violent the guy in back of me shouted “Damn! That was some gangster sh*t!” Stylish action and timely social satire Upgrade needs to be on you radar.
Upgrade is now streaming on Hulu.
