That Film Stew Ep 394 - M3GAN (Review)

Universal Pictures brings us this Blum House horror about a killer doll (no, not the one you’re thinking about). Directed by Gerard Johnstone, M3GAN is the science fiction horror film written by Akela Cooper from a story by Cooper and James Wan (who also produced the film with Jason Blum). M3GAN is a marvel of artificial intelligence, a life-like doll programmed to be a child's greatest companion and a parent's greatest ally. Designed by brilliant toy-company roboticist Gemma (Allison Williams), M3GAN can listen and watch and learn as she becomes friend and teacher, playmate and protector, for the child she is bonded to. Under intense pressure at work, Gemma decides to pair her M3GAN prototype with her orphaned 8-year-old niece, Cady (Violet McGraw) - a decision that will have unimaginable consequences.
