The Drone... where to start. This film is terrible, as so many low budget horror films are. The cast is reasonable, obviously nice to look at, but otherwise wooden.
The film starts, similarly to Child's Play, with our titular villain 'magically' transferring himself at the point of death (having had his serial killer ways revealed to the police) into a flying, remote control drone. A photographer finds the drone, and takes it home to his wife, and it begins to mine their personal data, and take pictures of them, and others, writing emails in their names, essentially appearing to try and break them up - but why??? Turns out the serial killer used to go out with the good lady wife of the photographer - one of many unbelievable events, seeing as how, when alive he resembled a rat, and she is smoking hot.
Anyhoo, the drone proceeds to kill their promiscuous blonde neighbour, the family dog, and frames the husband, the police take him in, and the wife smashes the drone... The end you'd think, but no!! The drone manages to survive, rotors intact, and goes to it's brothers house, where it manages to convince him in quick order that it is his dead serial killer brother. A quick call to amazon later and the drone is now flying robocop - did we forget the brother happens to be a tech wiz?
The police decide to release the husband and he, and the wife hire a PI, who finds the address of our drone's brother, before meeting a very violent end, and the couple go to, and end up killing the drone's bother, just because.
Returning to their house to pack and leave, they are trapped by the newly upgraded drone (now complete with voice synthesizer) and it terrorises them a bit more. The police turn up, and are dispatched in short order, and our heroes destroy the drone. The end... or not!!! In a 'brilliant' twist the drone manages to transfer the serial killer into the husband, who then attacks the wife, she stabs him in the eye with an electrical plug, kicks him through a window, off a balcony, and impales him on the grave marker of the buried family dog - all the way through a la Dracula. This wooden pole is about four inches in diameter. In the final moments of the film the husband seems to regain control, and, brutally broken, bleeding from everywhere, impaled, and with one eye gone, the wife utters the immortal line "Are you ok?" Clearly miffed with such total lack of attention to what she has just done to his body, the husband dies, along with part of my soul. Now the film really ends. I don't care if there was a post credits scene, as this was utter dross.
