Exclusive Clip From UNCANNY: "I Made Him"

Robots are all the rage right now, with multiple television shows exploring a near-future in which mechanical men and women are indistinguishable from flesh and blood human beings.

Personally, as a long-time lover of all things robotic -- thank you, Isaac Asimov! -- I think the subject is still ripe for exploration, since robots are not yet as ubiquitous as vampires or zombies. So the premise of Uncanny still holds appeal for me:

For ten years, inventor David Kressen has lived in seclusion with his inventions, including Adam, a robot with incredible lifelike human qualities. When reporter Joy Andrews is given access to their unconventional facility, she is alternately repelled and attracted to the scientist and his creation. But as Adam exhibits emergent behavior of anger and jealousy towards her, she finds herself increasingly entangled in a web of deception where no one's motives are easily decipherable.

Bonus points are due to Uncanny for the casting of Mark Webber as David Kressen. Webber is able to slide easily from heroic to villainous in the characters he portrays, and in an exclusive clip from the movie, he displays a steely assurance when revealing that the fellow sitting quietly on a couch is, in fact, a robot he made.

Lucy Griffiths and David Clayton Rogers also star. Matthew Leutwyler (Answers to Nothing) directed. Uncanny will be available on DVD and on Digital Video on Tuesday, November 3, 2015, via RLJ Entertainment. You can whet your appetite by watching the exclusive clip below.
