The best way for me to judge this film is to compare it with Ex Machina, since I watched that one earlier and it has a very similar basic plot. Overall, Uncanny felt like a much cheaper and weaker (in every way) variant of the Ex Machina theme.
Everything in Ex Machina had much more depth and attention to detail. The story was more complex, developed at just the right pace, and involved various fascinating twists and turns, and the characters and acting seemed more interesting and convincing to me. I don't even recall seeing any special effects in Uncanny, but there were a few in Ex Machina that worked very well. There was more attention to detail in everything, even down to the design of the tech lab in which the whole thing took place.
I didn't bother to compare the budgets, and I grant that Uncanny probably had to work with much less. Kudos to them for still delivering a watchable, sufficiently entertaining movie. But in absolute terms, if you haven't seen it, go watch Ex Machina first. That one is close to perfect, 8 or 9, so I'm rating Uncanny far below that at 5.
