Review: A young girl gets a robotic doll with a murderous streak in 'M3gan,' a fun horror film from producers James Wan and Jason Blum
If you rely on comedy-horror films for your behavioral statistics, you’ll be intrigued to learn that 72% of the time a parent spends interacting with a child goes to repetitive commands such as “flush the toilet.” As a dad, I think that figure sounds low, so I’m in the target audience for marketers of a robo-doll designed to serve as playmate, nanny and drill sergeant for recalcitrant little ones.
“M3gan,” a mildly scary movie built around a valid underlying fear, became a social-media phenomenon months before it was released thanks to the killer dance moves exhibited by its title figure. Yet at its core it’s about the ambivalence of raising children as personified by a lead engineer at a toy manufacturer: Gemma becomes the guardian of her niece, Cady , after the kid’s parents are killed in an accident.
