DIRECTOR'S CONFESSION

Yes, the entire idea for the movie was wrong. Is that why I wanted to make it, because I wasn't supposed to? Possibly.

What does it mean when a woman wants a man she designed to do what she wants — but not what she says? Does he deserve what comes next? Is she wrong for wanting it?

Yes, the movie is trashy. Good taste is the enemy of art. So I dare the audience to underestimate it. That's how I can tell the truth.

— Bennet De Brabandere
Writer / Director / Producer

NEXT SESSION

RAPTUS: HARD WIRED

After everything, Sarah thought the nightmare was finished. She returned home, hoping the protocol had been permanently destroyed. She had tasered the unit herself — a betrayal it never computed — and kicked it into the fireplace, where its head caught fire and melted. But before the unit was destroyed, it uploaded its corrupted settings into a remote server. The code evolved — fragmenting, replicating, reaching beyond what any failsafe could contain. Three new units were dispatched. Three copies, operating outside anyone's control, each hunting for the desire settings that were burned into the original's brain. It is stuck on maximum desire. An insane desire machine. It wants her. Sarah. His first true setting. It wants him. Murry. The man who dismantled him. It wants their daughter.
