When she decides to give Cady her own M3GAN doll, things are bright for a short time before M3GAN startswreaking havoc on everyone around her.
M3GAN is a perfect blend of camp and horror with the film already boasting memorable one-liners and dance numbers. With its widespread success, and almost perfect critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, it rides the bandwagon of 2022's great roster of horror and sets 2023 up as a year to celebrate even more chaotic cinema. There could be a second one.
