M3GAN is the latest in a long line of horror comedies that continue a promising trend for the genre. M3GAN is directed by Gerard Johnstone from a script from Akela Cooper. The story was conceived of by Cooper alongside horror veteran James Wan and tells the tale of M3GAN, an artificially intelligent doll who becomes attached to her creator's orphaned niece, becoming hostile to anyone that comes between her and her newfound family.

As with most horror films of recent years, M3GAN was produced by Blumhouse productions. The film's initial trailers, and usually unpromising January release, caused many to believe the M3GAN would not be the best film in terms of quality. However, initial reactions and reviews for the film prove that M3GAN is only continuing a very promising trend in recent years for horror movies.

Looks quite interesting. Is it possible that Hollywoke is finally finding a way of Making Horror Great Again?

For the record, this Blumhouse indie production cost a mere $12 Million to produce, and has already dethroned Avatar 2 for the number 1 spot in Avatar 2's 3rd Friday Domestically, raking in nearly $12 Million itself on opening night.

The comparison to M3GAN should be with Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022)

The task assigned to M3gan’s titular robot is an impossible one for most flesh-and-blood adults: how to help a child navigate a horrible trauma. As Cady’s parents are telling her to get off her iPad, and then squabbling over who’s meant to be enforcing the limits on screen time, the car is hit by a truck, and both parents are killed. That leaves Cady to live with her aunt Gemma (Allison Williams), who designs toys for children but has no idea how to fit such a child into her life. Gemma’s solution is to combine the problem of figuring out how to care for Cady with the biggest hurdle she’s facing at work: designing the next-gen successor to Purrpetual Pets, an AI-powered companion. That’s M3gan, who looks like a 4-foot-tall American Girl doll and whose only directive is to shield Cady from “physical and emotional harm.”

The problem is that shielding a child from all harm is, as any parent can tell you, not only impossible but undesirable. Obviously you don’t want your children to get hit by a car or humiliated by a bully, but you do want to expose them to “natural consequences,” the benign-but-not-too benign outcomes that happen when you simply don’t interfere. You can warn a child a million times not to touch a hot pot, but it only takes doing it once for the lesson to sink in. Tell them the family dog went to live on a nice farm upstate and you may spare them some anguish, but you’ve also missed an opportunity to teach them two invaluable lessons: one, that everything dies, and two, that you’ll tell them the truth even when it’s hard.

M3gan doesn’t have that perspective, in part because she’s a prototype rushed into beta testing so that Gemma, whose tech-bro boss doesn’t approve of time off for parenting, doesn’t fire her. When a therapist tries to help Cady work through the grief of her parents’ death, all the M3gan robot sees is a woman who’s made a little girl cry — and she does not approve. The robot’s job isn’t to foster psychological healing, it’s just to keep Cady’s attention elsewhere, away from the sad things. As one of Gemma’s coworkers puts it, “She’s not a solution. She’s just a distraction.”

M3gan presents itself as yet another cautionary tale about the dangers of artificial intelligence: What if we give a machine the power to learn with no moral or ethical guidance, except to protect one creature at the expense of all others? But it’s really much simpler than that. M3gan doesn’t turn out to be a freaky supergenius. As one of Gemma’s fellow coders points out, most of her verbal responses are just spruced-up word salad. She knows that children are soothed by lullabies, but she thinks that the ideal song to dry an 8-year-old’s tears is Sia’s “Titanium.” She’s an illustration of the difference between information and knowledge, and knowledge and wisdom.

In a sense, M3gan’s real monster is the little girl Cady, whose uncontrolled emotions are linked to a technology with no means of tempering them. Someone once said that if looks could kill, every child would be a murderer, and M3gan makes that insight concrete. Like the devices in our hands, the robot’s only task is to serve its user’s immediate needs—to pump out constant stimulation and to learn with every input how to better occupy our minds. A parent’s ultimate goal is to teach children to live without them, but the technologies we’ve designed are meant to never let us turn them off.

There is nothing to this movie, unless you are a moron. The trailer tells you everything about the movie, M3GAN. Unless you are a moron. Then every moment of your life is one more unanticipated surprise.

Oh my goodness. The killer robot is a child wearing a mask. Super high-tech movie making.
