| User ReviewJenn MI loved this movie. Acting was very good, had me fooled. Great twist at the end. |
| User ReviewTanya HThought provoking movie, genius scripting with a twist most can't see. This movie was made before Ex Machina, but because it was low budget took longer to be released. But honestly it is nothing like Ex Machina, anyone that thinks the two stories are anything alike must have been asleep while watching this. Once you see the amazing twist you will wonder how they managed to fool you, but once you figure out the twist, and you have to figure it out. If you only like spoon fed popcorn don't watch this movie or you may hurt your brain cell. This movie challenges your brain, you have to think about what is being said and what is being shown. Once you see the amazing twist you will wonder how hardly anyone got it, they pretty much spell it out. This is the Uncanny effect. This is the effect of not seeing what we don't want to see in favour of something we can deal with, and that is the true genius of this movie. |
| User ReviewBraxton HEnjoyable from the beginning to the end for me. The tension builds fairly early and maintains after, something hard to pull off in my experience. The actors do a good job of convincing you to drop your guard just in time to make you nervous again. Good thriller. |
| User ReviewMarcus CI liked this movie... entertaining, yes slow but still entertaining. The movie has a nice Double Twisted Ending! |

| User ReviewBrandy COh. My. God. If you haven't seen this movie, go to Netflix right now. RIGHT NOW. And watch it. It's such a joy to find a gem like this on Netflix. It starts out slow, but it gets better, I can promise you that. I don't have the words to describe it, but I definitely recommend it. |
| User ReviewStacy MSmart and sly, this movie seems like a prequel to the popular Ex-Machina. |
| User ReviewKatiki B***Spoiler Alert*** Do not read until you see the film! I believe the plot of Uncanny is driven by the universal biological imperative of reproduction. Let me explain. The character introduced as Adam, is a brilliant but autistic human individual. He sadly is incapable of living unassisted in the real world. His present situation in Warehouse 18 allows him to use, and for his boss to exploit, the superior parts of his brain. The story asked the question: Who is more normal, the autistic human or the robot (introduced as David) who is programmed to believe HE is the normal human? Autistic Adam knows his shortcomings and creates robot David without these shortcomings to the best of his ability. This was a sad and touching realization for me; especially given the harsh boss (Rainn) that provides him with his material needs. So where does the reproductive imperative come in? Autistic Adam sees his chance when Joy comes into the picture. He tries to romance her so awkwardly that he quickly sees his disabilities will never allow them to be lovers. He can satisfy both his bosses directive to prove robot David's human perfection, and his own desire to procreate, by implanting his seed in David's new robo-member. I don't think Joy has figured this out yet, when she gets the obviously positive result on the pregnancy test during the surprise ending scene. I loved this film, but it left me feeling melancholy as many good sci-fi stories do. The acting was wonderful accept for Rainn. my rating A- |

| User ReviewCharlie GUncanny has an uncanny resemblance to another recent film about artificial intelligence, Ex Machina. I kind of like Uncanny better, though. Rating: ????? |
