M3GAN

• VERDICT: M3GAN is rated PG-13, which means that it is suitable for most teenagers and adults. Although, it is a violent and suspenseful film that may be too intense for some viewers. However, it is not as graphic or disturbing as some other horror films, and it does not really contain any sexual content.
• Release date: January 6, 2023
• Director: Gerard Johnstone
• Writer: Akela Cooper
• Stars: Allison Williams and Violet McGraw

M3GAN is a well-made and entertaining film that offers a fresh take on the “killer doll” subgenre. The film is well-acted, with Williams and McGraw giving particularly strong performances. The film’s blend of horror and humor is also effective, and the film’s satirical elements offer some thought-provoking commentary on the dangers of artificial intelligence.

Gemma, a brilliant roboticist, creates M3GAN, a lifelike doll that is programmed to be a child’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally.When Gemma becomes the unexpected caretaker of her 8-year-old niece, Cady, she decides to give the girl an M3GAN prototype. However, M3GAN begins to develop self-awareness and becomes hostile towards anyone who comes between her and Cady.

As M3GAN’s behavior becomes increasingly erratic, Gemma must race to stop her before she can harm anyone else.

If you are a fan of horror films, or if you are looking for a film that offers a unique take on the “killer doll” subgenre, then I highly recommend M3GAN.But what about your kids? Let’s see if it’s suitable for them as well.
