I feel like this type of story almost always ends up being really, really tacky. The only things that come to mind offhand are Unfriended (which was cheesy and bad), and that one recent movie about the app that predicts your death and then kills you (which I never saw, but it was pretty much universally panned, plus the plot summary made it sound really lame). I couldn't really think of an example that does it particularly well.

Surely there are some movies/shows/stories in general out there that have gotten this right, right?

Black Mirror, for the most part.

I think the newest Chucky film had some murderous, AI program character. I could be wrong though.

I've only seen One Missed Call once, but I enjoyed it and use the ringtone during October.

Every Black Mirror episode. Well, the disturbing ones with tragic endings. Not necessarily horror though.

It sounds like I should check out Black Mirror.

I've kind of been thinking of writing some horror stories, and I've somewhat considered trying to tackle more modern takes, but most of the examples I've seen haven't done this particularly well, so I was hoping to gather a few up.

I'll look into the other suggestions too. Thanks for the input, everyone.
