Apple's Siri Has a Grudge in This Special Effects-Filled Short Film

Each day, Mashable highlights one noteworthy YouTube video. Check out all our viral video picks.

What happens when Apple iPhone 4S's mobile assistant Siri sprouts legs and holds a grudge? Take a look at the Youtube video being shared like crazy and scaring people into doing menial phone tasks for themselves.

"Psycho Siri" explores what could happen with the technology that speaks to you -- and it's going viral on YouTube.

Eighteen-year-old aspiring filmmaker Andrew McMurry and his brother, 21-year-old Nathan McMurry, starred in and produced the film in about a week. "Psycho Siri" starts off with Nathan finding an iPhone on the ground outside class without any apps or a SIM card, but with Siri fully loaded.

The four-minute clip has already garnered more than 346,700 views since its YouTube launch Feb. 3.

"I am overwhelmed by the amount of great responses the video has been getting," Andrew told Mashable. "People seem to really like the whole 'Siri turning into a psychotic murderer' idea."

Andrew says he wanted to incorporate Siri into a film because of the recent advancement of artificial intelligence and it's something he thinks about often. Plus, the "monotone computer voice" creeps him out.

"My main intention wasn't to make [people] question technology, but to simply entertain them," he says.

This video reminds us of another creepy Siri video called "Siri: The Holiday Horror Video." After watching this short film, how do you feel about Siri?
