This Sci-Fi Horror movie is the needed upgrade to creepy-doll movies
M3GAN is produced by the horror masters Jason Blum and James Wan from "The Conjuring"
The plot follows Gemma, a roboticist at a toy company who creates a lifelike artificially intelligent doll named M3GAN.
When M3GAN becomes attached to Gemma's orphaned niece Cady, she develops self-awareness and becomes hostile to anyone who comes between her, Cady and Gemma.
When a tragic car accident takes the lives of her sister and brother-in-law, Gemma becomes guardian for the 9-year-old traumatized Cady
Critics Review
"A scampering Blumhouse caper that turns out to be blithely self-aware, negligibly jump-scary, and mostly very fun."
Entertainment Weekly
"An intelligently unhinged work that updates the killer dolls subgenre for the modern era; it’s the unholy love child of Child’s Play and The Terminator with a welcome skewering of technological dependency."
Flickery Myth
"The jump scares in the fun, funny thrill ride that is “M3GAN” elicit more giggles than groans, but there are also intriguing connections being made on “M3GAN’s” motherboard, behind the glossy surface."
