You’ve probably seen the M3GAN dancing memes, but now get ready for the full movie.
) and directed by Gerard Johnstone , the film is produced by horror big hitters Jason Blum and James Wan. So, yeah, there are a lot of seasoned horror folks involved here.And it stars Violet McGraw as Cady, as well as Alison Williams as her aunt — and M3GAN's creator — Gemma.BTW, before we get going here, if you want to know absolutely nothing about the film going into it, skip to the end for the TL;DR.
And, while this is technically a horror film, you should know that it's really not that scary. In fact, I'd say it's not scary at all — there's, like, MAYBE one jump scare. There are a few ~creepy~ moments, but the film is so self-aware of its preposterous situations that it rides the line of creepy and funny to perfection.The performances are solid, especially from McGraw, who at just 10 years old is able to carry a lot of the emotional weight of the film.
The story itself is simple, and if I'm being honest, predictable, but that's not to say it's bad. In fact, it makes for a really easy watch and that's perfectly fine. Sure, there's some pretty on-the-nose social commentary about the dangers of letting technology raise our children, but come on...we're all mainly here for one thing: watching a cute lil' doll terrorize people. And that's exactly what we get.
is another excellent addition to the subgenre of horror comedy films. Don't go in expecting to be scared, but you should fully expect to be entertained...because it truly is a wild ride. 8/10, would recommend!
