Black Mirror: Metalhead (2017)
Season 4, Episode 5
10/10
Prescient And Disturbing
3 January 2024
'Metalhead' is by far the best of the Black Mirror series, but I understand why many people didn't get it when it was first released. I'm watching the BBC 2023 Christmas Lectures on the subject of AI and have just been assured that the manufacturer of a robot dog have strict regulations around their product being weaponised. I don't doubt that, but there are a lot of bad actors in the world so it won't be long until someone does it and the world of 'Metalhead' could be a reality.

In terms of production, the Dartmoor location (why is it supposed to be Scotland?), stark black and white film, and tight editing make for a minor science fiction classic.
