Smiling Robots Are Bad Robots

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Wednesday, 1 of December , 2010 at 1:34 am

We wrote about Ruairi Robinson’s Bad Robot short film about a year ago, and now we’ve got this trailer to further pique our interest (and, let’s be honest, to freak us out). The movie is now called Blinky, and don’t forget the image on the original poster:

Yeah. Wow. I’m tempted to comment that a movie about a domestic companion robot turning into some kind of rampaging (or maybe just sneaky) death machine is probably not going to be the greatest thing to happen to the service robotics industry, but at least it’s a refreshing change of pace from the military killbot stories that have been so prevalent lately. Besides, maybe that’s not blood, but strawberry jam, and Blink was just making toast.

DEATH TOAST.
