The latest from Allison Williams, Ronny Chieng, Jenna Davis and Amie Donald is a creepy horror/sci-fi/thriller.
A Gerard Johnstone-directed story about a robotics engineer who builds a life-like doll named M3gan that begins to have ideas outside the brief.
I’m interested because this is a horror/sci-fi/thriller, rather than a straight horror film. I also definitely want to see how well the creepy factor translates. So far, both the presence and the idea of M3gan make me uneasy. However, nothing in this trailer is quite s creepy as the thing at 2:03
I’m also a little concerned about how well I’ll be able to suspend my disbelief. I probably liked the premise more before it leaned more strongly into being a horror film. Surely M3gan would still be intriguing without what seems like gratuitous horror theatrics. for theatrics sake.
Lastly, why is M3gan is having to run on all fours at 1:40? It seems strange, no?
How curious are you about M3gan?
Violet McGraw, Brian Jordan Alvarez, Arlo Green, Jen Van Epps, Kira Josephson and Stephane Garneau-Monten also star.
M3gan Release Dates: January 6th, 2023 (US), January 13th (UK)…

The Movie My Life 
Not sure about the CGI right now, must admit. We’ll see.
They certainly have time to improve, so that’s good. 🤓
It’s a pleasant fantasy for kids who are being bullied/victimized/exploited. It isn’t a reassuring endorsement for home-based androids though lol. I like the look of it and will see it at some point.
I didn’t focus in on the premise that way but you’re absolutely right. We should all be able to feel safe; no group more so than children. I’lll be going in to watch M3gan with far fewer expectations. 🤓
I am very much obsessed with M3GAN at the moment. I want to see it right now. It’s got everything I like about some horror movies. Creepy kids, killer dolls, and evil A.I. Maybe it didn’t need to be horror, but I’m glad they’re not taking things too seriously. The running on all fours and dancing seems intentionally campy.
Your comment made me smile. I’ve certainly felt that way many times after some exciting trailers. It looks like I need get over my ideas of what I wanted M3gan to be and just take it in as intended including all the camp. 😁
That’s nice to hear. I just found out M3GAN is going to be PG-13, so they’re definitely not going for edgy.
I’m a little disappointed for you. But I think that they can still make it good, just different.
I saw the trailer a few days ago. I am hoping it is totally off-the-wall and doesn’t try to deliver any heavy messages, because otherwise it doesn’t interest me. If this M3GAN goes all John Wick on everyone, that might be worth a watch.
I hear you. I guess, overall it shouldn’t matter too much which version of the Android story it is. Just as long as it’s good and entertaining. Still, I’m quite certain you’re winning this one. It seems to be deliberately ‘extra,’ for want of a better phrase. 🤓
Thanks, but nope, I have enough nightmares! 😵💫
Fully understandable, Tiffany. 😁 Luckily for me, I don’t think M3gan is the kind of scary that will give me nightmares. On the other hand these could also be my famous last words. We’ll see.
Creepy indeed…
Hopefully it’s ‘creepy good.’ 🤓🤞🤞
