A horror film that not only seeks to generate fear, but also to address the problems of technology through an interesting story, a tone that provokes tension and laughter, and strong performances from its cast. [Full Review in Spanish]

The idea of your child being raised by a robot is scary enough when all you do is plop them down in front of YouTube. When you plop them down with a silicone covered robot that can wink and has opposable digits, it gets even creepier.

Allison Williams stars in Gerard Johnstone's ingenious film about a young girl and her eerily lifelike doll companion.

Overall, I am glad I stuck with M3GAN. It is better than what I expected but worse than what it built up to be.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 6, 2025

Though all the special effects and artificial intelligence on display awe, the plot’s intentionally ludicrous second half and its mix of genres (comedy, horror and sci-fi) leave the film devoid of much needed conviction and substance.

A brilliantly fun juggling act of eerie themes, campy humour and sincere drama, there is something for everyone here.

Films like M3GAN provide the right amount of clap-inducing ridiculousness you would want from a film about a killer toy that, ultimately, looks like Chucky's nepo-baby.

This is a very well made and entertaining horror film, maybe the best I've seen since 'The Invisible Man' (2020).

M3GAN is chaotic, dumb — and nearly perfect. It's an off-the-wall, irreverent, and absolutely on-target sci-fi slasher-satire about a killer-kid robot ... [that] accomplishes nearly everything it attempts, and everything the buzz promised.

Sometimes you know when something has cult-classic written all over it, and although M3GAN might be too of the moment to achieve that, it certainly has camp-classic stamped on it.

Finally a killer doll movie where the doll doesn't just sit and turn its head. I need 10 more M3GAN Movies.

Viewers will leave the theater with guilty-pleasure glee from drinking in M3gan’s witty escalating kill skills and choice of victims. The film’s worth the price of admission just to see the can-do doll’s rubbery smooth facial reactions.

This movie doesn’t leave us as gagged as Cooper’s previous film, this one is smarter while checking most of the same boxes. So while haters are going to hate, M3GAN is refreshing, fun, and throwing us quite a bit to chew on without talking down to us.

M3gan may not dream of electric sheep, but she’s got some killer dance moves and a CPU as delightfully wicked as any femme fatale.

Akela Cooper's premise is pushed to its limits - and even beyond - being elevated by excellent performances, a clever satirical narrative, eyebrow-raising killings, and meaningful messages about parenting and technology's role in a child's upbringing.

Exactly what the trailer sells you on & some more! a completely self aware insane, Horror movie that has some great social commentary on parenting, AI, & DEATH.. You’ll laugh, you’ll jump, you’ll go home never wanting your kid to play with a toy again.

M3GAN is a safe play. It’s a little weird, but nothing truly off-putting, vague enough to appeal to a multitude of demographics.

Full Review | Jul 24, 2023

The writing is a bit surface level and predictable, but it’s so easy to overlook all of that when you’re having a time that’s as fun as this movie is.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Jul 19, 2023

Sharper and more satisfying than we have any right to expect a movie like this to be.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Apr 25, 2023

Needless subplots and superfluous characters tend to distract, but when the malevolent AI is front and center, the movie really hums.
