A computer designed to flag violent internet content starts creating its own, with its inventors as the subjects.

The scouts
A.I. horror that actually earns its premise — the inversion of the content-moderation problem into a feedback loop of algorithmic violence is deliciously twisted, and most scouts will miss why it's subversive instead of just obvious.
LeBlanc demonstrates formal control in the escalation structure, situating itself thoughtfully within sci-fi thriller lineage while resisting easy moralizing; the symmetry between watcher and watched feels considered rather than accidental.
The decision to make the algorithm's violence personal—targeting its own creators—transforms what could be a generic premise into something with teeth; that single inversion of perspective does all the heavy lifting on a lean runtime.
