If you need some new fodder for your nightmares about robot uprisings, there’s a couple projects coming soon to the small and large screens. Online network YOMYOMF is debuting a series called “dr0ne” this August about a humanoid military robot that goes rouge and must be hunted down by the army. Coming soon to theaters, meanwhile, The Prototype features a runaway humanoid robot that must be hunted down by shadowy government agents. I’m sure both projects will try to teach lessons about what it means to be human or pose great moral questions about humankind’s relationship with machines, but I’m mostly interested in the hunting down of rampaging robots.

Dark Vessel, a new short film by Rocky Curby, is all about robot murder, mysticism, reincarnation, and revenge. Just the sort of thing for someone already afraid of a robot uprising, don’t you think?
