We know that dolls kill, but how do you get them to kill?
The horror genre loves to bring our worst nightmares to life. Whether it is killer clowns or ghosts, anything can be elevated to terrify us. While killer dolls are nothing new to the genre, with one of the biggest horror icons being the Good Guy Doll named Chucky, the new Blumhouse film, M3GAN, updates our fear of dolls by integrating every creators’ worst nightmare: artificial intelligence.
If you haven’t seen the already iconic AI doll from M3GAN, then you are missing out on something that is so terrifying that you can’t help but laugh a little at the absurdity. The horror comedy follows Gemma (Allison Williams), a roboticist at a toy company, as she tries to enlist the help of a lifelike doll programmed to be a child’s greatest companion after Gemma unexpectedly gains custody of her niece, Cady (Violet McGraw).
