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.

Critics Consensus

Unapologetically silly and all the more entertaining for it, M3GAN is the rare horror-comedy that delivers chuckles as effortlessly as chills.

Audience Says

As long as you aren't looking for something truly scary -- or even surprising -- M3GAN is often a lot of fun.

Time Out

M3GAN rollicks along with all the slickness and shocks you’d expect from a film produced by Insidious’s James Wan. It always keeps you in on the joke -- and it’s a killer joke.

Rated: 4/5

I love this movie so much, and had the absolute best time.

The ending is predictable, as it is on a roller coaster, but it's a thrilling ride all the same. For Wan's Atomic Monster Productions and Blumhouse Productions it may be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Spotlight on Film

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.

Rated: 3/5

Cinerama Film

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

Rated: 4/5

FILMHOUNDS Magazine

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.

Rated: 4/5

Potentially thrilling AI horror botched somewhere in it's development.

Unexpected surprise! Megan is smart, fun, and thrilling! The film knows its campy horror, which is a perfect approach for this concept!

Literally one of the best movies I've seen in a while. A nice mix of thriller and sci-fi that goes deeper and makes you feel and think about how technology is changing our interpersonal relationships. It was even better than what the trailers made me anticipate.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I loved this movie so much. I went to the Williamsburg cinemas and it was packed but so much fun. The whole theater was laughing at some point. I also think that this movie would be great for some pre-teens aswell. If your looking for a serious horror flim this is NOT your flim. On the other hand if you are looking for a stupid silly movie this is great. I enjoyed it!
