Get Outta da House Cinema 2023 - M3GAN

M3GAN is my first film at the movies for 2023! Man did this shit all over a tonne of films from 2022!

M3GAN is a marvel of artificial intelligence, a lifelike doll that's programmed to be a child's greatest companion and a parent's greatest ally. Designed by Gemma, a brilliant roboticist, M3GAN can listen, watch and learn as it plays the role of friend and teacher, playmate and protector. 

When Gemma becomes the unexpected caretaker of her 8-year-old niece, she decides to give the girl an M3GAN prototype, a decision that leads to unimaginable consequences.

I'm happy to report a sequel is already in the works. Spoilers end here. You think Chucky was good, M3GAN is better. So much better. She dances, sings and KILLS!


M3GAN mixes with comedy with horror (which sometimes works, sometimes doesn't) starring Allison Williams, Ronny Chieng & Violet McGraw, with Amie Donald physically portraying M3GAN and Jenna Davis voicing the character.

Ronny was excellent as David Lin, Gemma's annoying boss at the toy company, whilst Violet McGraw was creepy as M3GAN's master Cady.

James Wan is on a winning streak with recent films. M3GAN continues his fine form!

The film was shot during 2021 in Los Angeles, California, and Auckland, New Zealand.

M3GAN has grossed over $54 million worldwide against a budget of $12 million, while receiving largely positive reviews from critics. Praising for its campy blend of horror and humor, satirical elements, and performances.

Bring on the sequel is all I can say!

An easy, 4 Stars for a fun night out returning to the cinema on a Friday the 13th for a creepy killer doll. Also M3GAN is a shit tonne smarter than Annabelle!
