"M3GAN" is a sci-fi horror film directed by Gerard Johnstone, centering around an advanced AI robot doll designed to be a child's best friend. The movie stars Allison Williams as Gemma, a roboticist who creates M3GAN (Model 3 Generative Android) to be a companion for her orphaned niece, Cady, played by Violet McGraw.
The film is praised for its blend of horror, dark humor, and social commentary on our reliance on technology. M3GAN's increasingly erratic and dangerous behavior raises ethical questions about AI and its integration into daily life. The movie balances chilling moments with satirical takes on tech culture, making it both entertaining and thought-provoking.
Critics highlight the strong performances, especially by Williams and McGraw, and the effective use of practical effects and CGI in bringing M3GAN to life. Some find the plot predictable but agree that its execution and thematic depth make it a standout in the horror genre.
