This Friday, Saturday & Sunday (February 3-5) at 8:00PM each night you can come and settle in with M3gan. I’m sure many of you had imaginary friends when you were children. What if your imaginary friend was real? And she would protect you no matter what? Sounds like a dream come true… or a nightmare?
Last week when I was setting up A Man called Otto I had this as one of the trailers. I was in the theatre by myself with the lights off and I had to turn the lights on because M3gan was too creepy.
However, apparently M3gan isn’t as scary as you might first think. The movie is rated PG-13. Audience reviews say: As long as you aren’t looking for something truly scary, M3GAN is often a lot of fun.
CRITICS CONSENSUS
Unapologetically silly and all the more entertaining for it, M3GAN is the rare horror-comedy that delivers chuckles as effortlessly as chills.
M3GAN is a marvel of artificial intelligence, a life-like doll programmed to be a child’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally. Designed by brilliant toy-company roboticist Gemma (Get Out’s Allison Williams), M3GAN can listen and watch and learn as she becomes friend and teacher, playmate and protector, for the child she is bonded to. When Gemma suddenly becomes the caretaker of her orphaned 8-year-old niece, Cady (Violet McGraw, The Haunting of Hill House), Gemma’s unsure and unprepared to be a parent. Under intense pressure at work, Gemma decides to pair her M3GAN prototype with Cady in an attempt to resolve both problems–a decision that will have unimaginable consequences.
