If you are into thrillers and scary movies, there is a sci-fi horror that may pique your interest airing on Channel 4 this Saturday.
M3GAN tells the story of a humanoid robot who is designed to be the ultimate companion for children but there is no limits to its power.
The film is airing on Channel 4 just weeks before the highly anticipate sequel is set for release in UK cinemas on June 27.
M3GAN’s synopsis reads: “M3GAN is a marvel of artificial intelligence, a lifelike doll that’s programmed to be a child’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally.
“Designed by Gemma, a brilliant roboticist, M3GAN can listen, watch and learn as it plays the role of friend and teacher, playmate and protector.
“When Gemma becomes the unexpected caretaker of her eight-year-old niece, she decides to give the girl an M3GAN prototype, a decision that leads to unimaginable consequences.”
Gerard Johnstone directed M3GAN, with stars including Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Ronny Chieng, Jenna Davis and Amie Donald.
M3GAN gets a 93% rating from Rotten Tomatoes critics.
The critics consensus reads: “Unapologetically silly and all the more entertaining for it, M3GAN is the rare horror-comedy that delivers chuckles as effortlessly as chills.
“A brilliantly fun juggling act of eerie themes, campy humour and sincere drama, there is something for everyone here,” said a Rotten Tomatoes critic.”
One reviewer stated: “Viewers will leave the theatre with guilty-pleasure glee from drinking in M3GAN’s witty escalating kill skills and choice of victims. The film’s worth the price of admission just to see the can-do doll’s rubbery smooth facial reactions.”
The sequel M3GAN 2.0 will follow Gemma, who has become an advocate for government oversight of AI. But when a defense contractor creates a military-grade weapon known as Amelia, the ultimate infiltration spy, terror ensues.
M3GAN will be available to watch on Channel 4 on Saturday night at 9.35pm.
