Is it 2023 but? We’re about to explode with anticipation for M3GAN—the killer doll (truly a kid-sized robotic powered by an alarmingly self-aware AI) film produced by famous nightmare inducers James Wan (The Conjuring) and Jason Blum (The Black Phone). This harrowing new clip makes us much more excited.

Granted, we’ve seen a whole lot of this footage earlier than in the earlier trailers, however no matter you do—don’t miss the ugly li’l snippet at round 57 seconds.

“I think people need to be reminded of the fact that this technology is here,” director Gerald Johnston says within the clip. (Do we, Gerald? Do we?) “We’re not that far from something like M3GAN existing and that is pretty unsettling.” A couple of seconds later, a delighted-with-his-macabre-self James Wan insists “This movie is really fun,” and it’s that mix of emotional reactions—screaming in terror, screaming with laughter—that almost all attracts us to this one. Well, that and likewise seeing M3GAN do her sassy dance routine on the massive display screen.

M3GAN stars Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Ronny Chieng, Brian Jordan Alvarez, Jen Van Epps, Lori Dungey, and Stephane Garneau-Monten; it arrives in theaters January 6.
