M3GAN, or Megan, is a Child’s Play knock-off that’s more in keeping with the recent Child’s Play reboot and the techy elements of that one than the spirited original.
A Silicon valley-type corporation is mucking about where it shouldn’t with mostly predictable results.
This is another killer doll type movie, fairly good of its type – but its type ain’t that good, as it’s a genre that’s not particularly riveting at least according to this reviewer.
In this episode:
- Child’s Play comparisons
- Allison Williams and the zeitgeist aspect of AI
- Emotional resonance and storytelling
- Other killer doll movies
- The general crappiness of Blumhouse productions
- Cinematography and tone and their importance in horror
- Crummy comedians and material that’s played for yuks in horror
This week on the podcast, the uber low budget New Jersey regional horror, The Deadly Spawn.
On this week’s episode, Crimes of the Future. Let’s get gooey and check in with this David Cronenberg effort, a real return to form.
