Friends till the end
Well we have been down this route before obviously with Child's Play and the remake of a child's toy going on the rampage. Although no where near as violent or with the tongue in cheek humour with Chucky this was quite enjoyable.
Concentrating on the tech side with the AI and the family dynamics of a young woman suddenly becoming the guardian of her niece. Plenty of character development before the terror reaches the final act. Worth a viewing if you think the premise originally didn't grab you.

Nothing Special
Move over, Chucky, there’s a new killer doll in town.

The first “hit” of 2023, M3GAN (whichs stands for Model 3 Generative Android) is exactly what you think it is, the latest spin on a theme that has been seen over and over again - a scientist creates a sentient being that ends up turning on it’s masters.

As Directed by Gerard Johnstone, M3GAN is a winning (enough) entree into this genre, with the twist this time being that the sentient being is a doll (much like the aforementioned Chucky or Annabelle) and M3GAN is created as a companion for a lonely young girl who has lost her parents, as the relationship between M3GAN and Cady (Violet McGraw) grows, M3GAN becomes overly protective of her.

Because the main character is a tween girl, Director Johnstone tries to tow the line between hard-core, R-rated Horror and more “kid-friendly” PG-13 fright/scares. He succeeds as much as he fails in this quest, but…ultimately…the films lands squarely in the middle…not gorey/horror enough for horror fans, but too gorey/horror-y for the younger set that just might be it’s target audience.

As the creator of M3GAN (and the Aunt of Cady), Allison Williams (GET OUT) does a professional job of holding down the center of the film with the rest of the supporting cast/victims being played inconsistently as realistic (the next door neighbor played by Lori Dungey (The Lord of the RINGS trilogy) or too over-the-top like the scum-bag, “only interested in making money” CEO played by comedian Ronny Chieng.

It is these types of inconsistencies - “R-Rated or PG-13”? Realistic or over-the-top acting? That, ultimately, sentences this picture as something that is neither interesting nor uninteresting. It just sits there like a doll on the shelf, staring at you, waiting for you to decide whether or not you wish to play with it.

Letter Grade: C+

5 Stars (out of 10) and you can take that to the Bank(ofMarquis)

My second cinema visit of 2023 and I liked this one alot this is like a female version of chucky but without the wise cracks which is a good thing and way better than the recent child's play remake the acting is good could have done with some more gore but has the potential for a sequel
