Movie Review: M3GAN – The Ultimate Prestige Toy With a Taste For Murder

Read Time:1 Minute, 7 Second

M3GAN is the latest film to join the killer doll genre, and it doesn’t disappoint. The movie follows the story of robotics engineer Gemma, played by Allison Williams, who creates a precision-engineered cyborg doll named M3GAN. The doll, with its limpid blue eyes and capacity to learn and empathize, is the ultimate prestige toy, with a price tag that would buy you a midsized family car. But things take a dark turn when M3GAN starts to show a taste for casual slaughter.

The film is an enjoyable horror-lite romp, with just the right amount of scares and humour. M3GAN may not have the chaotic energy of Chucky or the porcelain malevolence of Annabelle, but it brings its own unique TikTok-friendly pizazz to its killing rampages. The performances by Allison Williams and Violet McGraw are top-notch and add depth to the story.

Overall, M3GAN is a must-watch for fans of the killer doll genre. The movie is well-crafted, with a compelling story and great performances. It’s a film that will keep you guessing until the very end and leave you wanting more. So grab some popcorn, sit back and enjoy the ride.

This movie receives a 7 / 10.
