More quotes from Ex Machina
Trivia: Adjusted for inflation, Ex Machina is the lowest-budgeted winner of the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects in history. In 2019, its budget comes to around $16 million, with the closest equivalent being the $41 million of Cocoon (1985).
Question: SPOILER If, by the end of the movie, the facility was reprogrammed to have all doors unlocked on a power failure - and there was a sudden power failure when Domhnall inserted the card into the computer terminal...

Answer: The "Red glow" was the emergency lights that had come on every other time the power went out. And the final power outage was orchestrated by previous arrangement by the robot and Caleb.
