T.I.M. Trailer - Farren and Campbell

Barbarian‘s Georgina Campbell (Bird Box: Barcelona) returns to horror once more, this time in ’90s style sci-fi thriller T.I.M. (Technologically Integrated Manservant). The official trailer teases a creepy stalker scenario involving A.I. gone awry.

Brainstorm Media is set to release T.I.M.  in theaters and On Demand on January 12, 2024.

Eamon Farren (“The Witcher,” “Twin Peaks”), Mark Rowley (“The Last Kingdom”), and Amara Karan (“Doctor Who”) star alongside Campbell.

The film follows “Abi (Georgina Campbell), a prosthetics engineer, and her husband Paul (Mark Rowley). As they adapt to a new life outside the city, Abi’s latest project, the A.I. humanoid T.I.M. (Eamon Farren), initially appears as the perfect aid. Programmed to serve only her, it transforms into a perilous obsession, determined to replace Paul.”

Watch the trailer below to see the humanoid develop a dangerous obsession with its maker, ’90s thriller style.

T.I.M marks the debut film from British filmmaker Spencer Brown (Shed of the Dead), who cowrote the screenplay with Sarah Govett.

Brown previously told Deadline of his debut, “Georgina lights up the screen with her amazing presence and subtlety, Mark wins our hearts with his humor, depth, and humanity, and Eamon completes the central trio with a brilliant AI performance that showcases his truly world-class talent. Stigma films have been incredible in helping me bring this film to the screen, and I’m so happy to be working with Altitude to take this movie out into the world. I hope it’s something that will still be watched when people have house robots of their own!”

Campbell has been busy in horror since her breakout role in Barbarian. Also look for her in upcoming horror movies Lovely, Dark, and Deep and The Watchers.

Matthew James Wilkinson and Patrick Tolan of Stigma Films are producers on the film. Executive producers are Damian Jones, Simon Marriott, James Owen, and Kush Thakrar.

‘The Strangers: Chapter 1’ Just Had the Highest Domestic Horror Opening of the Year

The bar wasn’t very high to clear, but Lionsgate’s The Strangers: Chapter 1 did manage to break a box office record here in 2024, achieving the highest opening weekend at the domestic box office out of any horror movie released this year… so far. This despite largely negative reviews, once again proving that the horror genre is as review-proof as it comes.

The Strangers: Chapter 1 debuted with $11.83M at the domestic box office in 2,856 locations, just barely topping Blumhouse’s Night Swim to rip the crown off the top of its head.

Here’s the full lineup of domestic opening weekends for horror this year…

  • The Strangers: Chapter 1 – $11.8 million
  • Night Swim – $11.7 million
  • Abigail – $10.2 million
  • Imaginary – $9.9 million
  • The First Omen – $8.3 million
  • Tarot – $6.5 million
  • Immaculate – $5.3 million
  • Lisa Frankenstein – $3.6 million

For further context and comparison, 2018’s The Strangers: Prey at Night opened to $10.4 million before making $31 million worldwide, a number Chapter 1 may eventually reach.

The good news for Lionsgate is that the production budget for The Strangers: Chapter 1 was a reported $8.5 million, so there’s a good chance this one will soon be profitable. But is it enough to justify theatrical releases for both Chapter 2 and Chapter 3, which will continue Chapter 1‘s storyline and have already been filmed? Or will Lionsgate pivot to a streaming release?

These are the questions we can’t help but ponder today. Stay tuned for more.

Madelaine Petsch (“Riverdale”), Froy Gutierrez (Hocus Pocus 2), Rachel Shenton (The Silent Child), Ema Horvath (“Rings of Power”) and Gabe Basso (Hillbilly Elegy) star.

Here’s the full official synopsis: “After their car breaks down in an eerie small town, a young couple are forced to spend the night in a remote cabin. Panic ensues as they are terrorized by three masked strangers who strike with no mercy and seemingly no motive.”

Renny Harlin directed The Strangers: Chapter 1.
