Chucky could also be at the moment terrorizing the airwaves, however one other distressing toy is making her presence identified: the high-tech robotic creation poised to set off all of your uncanny valley fears in M3GAN. The film’s coming in January from producers James Wan (The Conjuring) and Blumhouse (Halloween), however you may get your recurring nightmares began with at present’s trailer.

What if Small Wonder’s disobedient android was the entire present as an alternative of only a particular visitor star? Except with sinister dance motion pictures and violent Westworld vibes? That’s what M3GAN seems to be like.

Here’s the synopsis whereas your coronary heart charge returns to regular: “She’s more than just a toy. She’s part of the family. 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 (Get Out’s 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. When Gemma suddenly becomes the caretaker of her orphaned 8-year-old niece, Cady (Violet McGraw, The Haunting of Hill House), Gemma’s unsure and unprepared to be a parent. Under intense pressure at work, Gemma decides to pair her M3GAN prototype with Cady in an attempt to resolve both problems—a decision that will have unimaginable consequences.”

Mistakes have been made! M3GAN is directed by Gerard Johnstone (Housebound); the screenplay is by Akela Cooper (who wrote Malignant and due to this fact is a confirmed commodity in terms of “stories that make you go aw hell no!”) primarily based on a narrative by Cooper and Wan (who is aware of a factor or two about creepy dolls… have you ever met Annabelle?). It hits theaters January 13.
