Hard Candy (2005)
Directed by David Slade and written by Brian Nelson. The American thriller focuses on a 14 year old female vigilante's trapping and torture of a man whom she suspects of being a sexual predator.
The film stars Ellen Page, Patrick Wilson and Sandra Oh.
The film inspiration came from a 20/20 story about a Japanese girl who would lure older businessmen to a location with a promise of meaningful conversation, only to mug and assault the men with a gang of other girls.
This is David Slade's directorial debut.
Ex-Machina (2014)
Written and in his directorial debut by Alex Garland, the film follows a programmer who is invited by his CEO to administer the Turing test to an intelligent humanoid robot.
The film stars Domhnall Gleeson, Alicia Vikander and Oscar Isaac.
The foundation for Ex Machina was laid when Garland was 11 or 12 years old, after he had done some basic coding and experimentation on a computer his parents had bought him and which he sometimes felt had a mind of its own. His later ideas came from years of discussions he had been having with a friend with an expertise in neuroscience, who claimed machines could never become sentient. Trying to find an answer on his own, he started reading books on the topic.
