‘M3GAN’ is an early year treat for horror fans. Our review:
becomes. Along the way, though, the script by Akela Cooper is a bit wittier than your standard slasher fare. Director Gerard Johnstone has a wicked sense of humor, and until’s final few scenes the film works less as a horror movie than a very dark comedy about parenting, marketing, and greedy corporations.The film’s early sequences are punctuated by fake commercials for Gemma’s toys, all of which ring true to the bizarre creatures that have currently taken root in my own kids’ playroom.
Of course, M3GAN — embodied by actress Amie Donald, voiced by Jenna Davis, and seemingly augmented by a fair amount of animatronic special effects — begins to take her role as surrogate caretaker so seriously that she views anyone who upsets Cady’s happiness, even temporarily or for the greater good, as a threat. And when they happens, no one is safe.The premise of this deranged, homicidal, yet oddly loving doll is ridiculous, and Cooper and Wan’s story treats it appropriately.
Eventually, M3GAN becomes less of a demented protector and more of a stock slasher villain, and at that point grows more routine and less interesting. Until then, the film is miles better than the junk that typically comes out at this time of year.
