A decision that will have terrible consequences.
Our review of M3GAN:
Like before Child’s Playle reboot de Chucky, Megan is a film through which director and screenwriter criticize technology pushed to excess and the hold of the virtual world on contemporary children. And it’s pretty smart to release this movie, where it’s about toys, right after Christmas.
Megan is a very realistic, scary doll. Besides, his creepy side is obvious. But it only becomes wicked and murderous after an hour of filming. It’s too long for horror movie lovers. Before that, the creators of the film even gave a little almost heroine Disney side to Megan who sings, like in the Disney films. She covers the song Titaniumin Madilyn Bailey’s cover version of Sia and David Guetta’s song.
If we knew James Wan and Jason Blum much more inspired, the two horror specialists nevertheless multiply the references to the genre: a butterfly which arises at the window and which recalls the poster of Silences of the Lambs; a character, electric shears in hand that evokes Leatherface in Chainsaw Massacre. And, after fighting, once damaged, the Megan doll has some false airs of a bloody criminal Chucky, although this film is less successful than Chucky.
