It was fun but not quite Malignant fun. Hopefully they got full camp on the next one.

I was pleasantly surprised with M3GAN, so I’m looking forward to this. It’s got a different writer/director whose work I’m not familiar with, but looking at her IMDB it seems like a good fit for her.

Few movies reach the heights of Malignant!

James Wan needs to drop the smelly fish superhero and come back to direct bonkers horror movies. I want more ridiculous pseudo-Gallio that suddenly turns into a wire-fu action flick.
M’three’gan hit some of the notes at times but took itself a bit too seriously at times.

I think the hardest I laughed in a theater that year was when the in movie commercial says “imagine what it can do for kids whose parents aren’t dead!”
I don’t if they can thread the needle again but I’ll give the sequel a shot

At least with the premise of the sequel being about a sex-bot it opens the doors for all sorts of different madness.

Yeah, I enjoyed it. It was good campy fun and the girl playing M3GAN was appropriately creepy.

Yeah. I used to watch a lot of horror/thrillers and most left me underwhelmed. As such, I had low expectations for M3GAN but it left me pleasantly surprised. Definitely campy, but that’s obviously what it was going for.
Now I’m thinking I might have to watch it again this weekend.

Most of the time M3GAN had a puppet face, so that helped a lot with the creepy uncanny valley effect.
