Sarah French films have appeared on my blog often. Her, Debbie Rochon, and Ursula Andress may be in the lead as far as most prolific actresses to appear on Zisi Emporium for B Movies. Back in 2019, this sultry actress made a Christmas scifi/horror film about a cute robot turned maniacal killing machine. Sadly, technology has and will continue to displace most humans in the employment world. Even sadder, those robots who replace us...will be replaced as well. Even sadder, the robots won't take it well. Today we look at "Automation," directed by Garo Setian.
Bill (Jeff Rector) runs an insulation business. His 2nd in command, the beautiful Susan (Sadie Katz) and tech guy Alan (Parry Shen) have invented a robot, call him Auto, who will enable the firm to lay off most employees. Saving money and being more efficient are maxims that rule the day in this small company. More lay-offs will soon be announced as better and more efficient robots will be introduced. Alas, even Auto will be laid off (powered down). Auto is almost human and develops a crush on purple haired babe employee, Jenny (Elissa Dowling). The two have a tender thing going and she teaches Auto about human emotions. Also kind to him is the office babe Linda (French). Linda seems willing to also teach Auto, but the subject matter of the lessons may be a bit more carnal.
Sadly, Auto finds out about the layoffs and his impending powering down. He's also attacked by an employee jealous that Linda and Jennifer dig his robotics. Now Auto goes on a rampage,. crushing heads, strangling, and using his laser gun fist. Uh oh...we find more about Auto's history and it is horrifying. Now babes Linda and Susan, looking stunning in heels and tight skirts are now babes in peril. Even more so, Jenny is imperiled as Auto wants her as his own. Office politics and corporate efficiency rear their ugly heads and appear as monsters themselves, making us root for the rampaging robot at times. Still, we do hope the babes prevail as they are...babes.
Will Auto soon be able to teach Jenny a thing or two about romance and...you know? Just what is in Auto's past that make his rampaging more horrific and bloodier? Will Linda and Susan maintain their girlish figures and allure as lasers and crushing fists pursue them? This is a fun one with messages that are so pertinent. As corporate western civilization downplays the importance of humanity, perhaps what Auto inflicts on his employers is something we'll see more of in future headlines. See "Automation," a Christmas scifi/horror film with a message.
