On the JoBlo Movies YouTube channel, we will be posting one full movie every day of the week, giving viewers the chance to watch them entirely free of charge. Today’s Free Movie of the Day is the 2020 sci-fi horror thriller The Alpha Test, and you can check it out over on the JoBlo Movies YouTube channel, or you can just watch it in the embed at the top of this article.

Written and directed by Aaron Mirtes from a story by Brad Belemjian, The Alpha Test has a short and simple synopsis: A robot servant is pushed to the brink of disaster and murder at the hands of a vicious and abusive owner.

Brad Belemjian stars in the film alongside Lacy Hartselle, Rae Hunt, Bella Martin, Alice Raver, Wynn Reichert, Deborah Seidel, Mack Bayda, and David Ditmore.

The Alpha Test was the fourth feature film from Mirtes, who got his start making short films being moving on to his feature directorial debut with 2017’s Clowntergeist. You can probably guess what genre that one is in. He followed that up with the 2019 horror thriller American Hunt, which we have also featured as a Free Movie of the Day. (You can watch American Hunt at THIS LINK.) Next up was the 2019 horror film Curse of the Nun. He has already made three more movies since finishing The Alpha Test: Ouija Craft, Painted in Blood, and The OctoGames. And yes, they are all horror movies. He produced but didn’t write or direct the 2020 horror movie Death Ranch. Mirtes also directed six episodes of a show called Bizarre Happenstances, where he co-starred with Belemjian.

So take a look at The Alpha Test – it’s free! – then let us know what you thought of it by leaving a comment below or on the YouTube page. And if you happen to watch American Hunt as well, let us know what you thought of your Aaron Mirtes double feature!
