CHAT Turns a Horror-Film Landing Page Into an Open Channel
An interactive promotional site for CHAT, a $25,000 independent horror film about an AI-powered tablet and the demon waiting on the other side.
Field notes
The homepage stages the film as a “secure channel,” combining a scrolling warning, preset questions, and a free-text prompt addressed to the entity. It explicitly labels the exchange a scripted experience and says no data leaves the page, keeping the apparent interactivity promotional rather than conversational. The surrounding production notes identify a 94-minute film shot in Harker Heights, Texas, made for a reported $25,000, with an Indiegogo campaign supporting post-production and festival plans.
