Summary

Sci-fi horror starring Allison Williams and featuring the voice of Jenna Davis. Robotics scientist Gemma develops an AI-powered, child-sized doll she dubs the Model 3 Generative Android, or M3GAN. The prototype bonds with Gemma's orphaned niece, but soon grows a little too protective of her human charge.

Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Dave Golder

Housebound director Gerard Johnstone's second feature is a slick, smart comedy horror that's as funny as it is creepy. Gemma (Allison Williams) creates hi-tech toys for a living, and her latest project is M3GAN, a fully interactive doll designed to bond with a child and become their ultimate playmate, guide and protector. But like a modern-day Frankenstein's monster, M3GAN's dodgy programming soon turns her into a robot psycho killer. And if that sounds like a Bride of Chucky rip-off then you're in for a pleasantly unpleasant surprise. Based on an idea by James Wan (Saw), M3GAN shamelessly embraces a whole bunch of genre clichés, energising them with a we-know-you-know wit, with a cast that plays everything admirably straight rather than camping things up. Towards the end it loses focus and descends into relentless-killer-robot tropes, but that barely mars a film that's busting with bizarre moments, icky gore and deliciously black humour.
