M3GAN, with Cady (Violet McGraw), is a lifelike cyborg-doll meant to serve as not just a toy but also a companion. Predictably, it isn’t long before this objective is achieved through murderous means. The doll’s goal, as given to her by Gemma herself, is to protect Cady from any and all harm. The pair bond instantly, both literally and figuratively – M3GAN is programmed with the ability to parse the girl’s ever-changing emotional and physical states.
FLICK TECH REVIEWS SOFTWARE
Invented by eager roboticist Gemma (Allison Williams), who has just taken in her niece Cady (Violet McGraw) after the death of the young girl’s parents, the M3GAN robot is envisioned as being an integral part of its purchaser’s family, and with self-learning and adaptive artificial-intelligence software that takes on the role of a trusted friend, teacher and, at times, even caregiver.įor Cady, her M3GAN prototype is not only a way of testing her aunt’s uncanny tech brainchild, but a much-needed confidante that’s able to offer the support that Gemma, a career-driven young woman, is not yet able to provide. M3GAN – for those who somehow missed the online fervour surrounding the character – is a lifelike cyborg-doll meant to serve as not just a toy but also a companion. With a marketing campaign that capitalized on its titular character’s instantly iconic The Exorcist-meets-TikTok physicality and sly-yet-deadpan line delivery, horror-comedy flick M3GAN feels tailor-made for extremely-online audiences looking for a new camp-horror icon.ĭirected by Gerard Johnstone, who made his debut in 2014 with the similarly hybrid genre film Housebound, M3GAN arrives on the heels of 2019′s Child’s Play remake, taking the well-established killer-doll storyline and reorienting it for the Gen Z and millennial set.
