Yes, I was the one Online Film Critic who never saw M3GAN.
Well, that is in the past now...
She ends up with her Aunt, who is a Scientist who makes robotics.
When they fail to bond, she is inspired to finish creating Megan.
The highly advanced robot becomes the girl's companion.
They share stories, secrets and everything is looking up!
Of course, this is a Horror Film and this is a possibly-evil Doll.
Things take a turn when the Neighbor's Dog attacks Megan and the girl.
Revenge is nigh!
Megan was also made with no digital barriers for how she would learn and how she could act on them.
Will she get too powerful...and smart?
It's certainly not a SPOILER to say that Megan kills some people.
The question is who she kills.
And yes, there is 'That Dance.'
It is funny to finally see that bit in context.
To find out how exactly you solve a problem like a Megan, stream it now (on Peacock at time of writing).
A Film that is honestly better- and quite different- than promised.
Killer Dolls and their ilk have been a thing for many, many Decades. You can track evil Dolls back to the 1940s!
Hell, we got a girl Chucky as the 1990s began.
What this Film does well is honestly work as a Drama if you just cut out all of the murder. Like The Bababook, it is a Film known for Horror, but it does so much more.
The little girl is far more tolerable than the kid in the other Film though.
You really feel for the people involved, save for the obvious 'Dead Meat' Characters. Every Horror Film has them, after all.
Did this one live up to the hype? Yes.
As a total package, the Film doesn't break new ground per se, but makes the most of its premise all the same.
Leave it to Japan to tweak the Poster ever so slightly...

A killer Doll/Robot Film that is actually more than what was promised. Maybe I'll have to check out the Sequel sooner rather than later.
