Reviews
I really loved Child's Play when I was young, so I was very excited at this fresh take on a toy that kills. Bonus points for the toy and the child being girls this time around. Shout out to Aunt Gemma for being a woman in STEM.
M3GAN is campy fun. The doll has very creepy movements, along with an iconic dance and a killer fashion sense. I was actually sort of rooting for M3GAN at certain points in the middle, when she was dishing old some cold hard karma.
This is definitely rewatchable and has earned a place in the Halloween rotation. I'm looking forward to the sequel!
<b>M3GAN</b> is a robotic goddess.
