Scrollon V. Addison, after he gets caught and put 'under watch' and study to figure out what is going on with him.

The Scrollore:

Scroll is a very successful food mascot, an idol in cyber city. He's most often marketed off of his cuteness and good looks. He's also empty on the inside. He doesn't feel much emotion in his day to day life.

The most he feels is irritations, boredom and a yearning to fill the void somehow. He has a twisted view of the world, the kind where metaphors start getting literal. He believes he lacks something that everyone else has.

He's not sure what it is, whether its emotions, a real personality, a soul or just relationships, but whatever it is, he wants to obtain it by eating others, thinking that will make him whole.

Hunting down and eating others is the closest he gets to actually feeling something, although none of it really lasts by the time he finishes his plate, so he moves on to the next. He also feels one more thing; the fear that he is the one getting devoured.

Over time, the line between him and the food he's associated with got really blurry, and he began thinking that Addisons are food for the consumers. Him consuming others is a way of staying in control and putting himself above the rest.

I want a movie about humanoid robots sent to explore a planet and encountering sc-fi horror movie scenarios like alien, predator etc. with the control crew back on earth/space-station safely watching from the monitors and being horrified anyway. The whole thing should let to some interesting, dare I say 'possibly unique' scenarios. the robots may or may not be fully sentient. But they would react in interesting ways because the're not human. The control crew could have a healthy non-AI is a crapshoot relationship with them. Heck! This could apply to other horror tropes as well. Haunted house, Monster etc. Do stories like this exist already? If not, make it happen captain!
