M3GAN (2023)Directed by Gerard JohnstoneWatched this movie on Monday night and enjoyed it greatly! After 11 year old Cady's parents are killed in a car accident, she goes to stay with her aunt Gemma who works for a tech company, and is introduced to M3GAN, an android companion developed by Gemma, who'll do anything for her. The movie had a good balance of the 'tech run amok' thriller elements, it had a lot of fun, and a surprising amount of nuance. The lead performances by Violet McGraw as Cady and Allison Williams as Gemma were great, and the execution of the droid was very effective using multiple techniques (actors in costume, CG, animatronics). The movie is written by @akelacooper and produced by creepypuppet (who also contributes to Story), while this is not as bonkers like "Malignant", it's still a subtly different take on the subject. A sequel has just been announced, for 2025.I don't know why this has an A rating here as it's quite tame and actually was edited down for a PG-13 rating in the US, apparently we may get to see the R rated extended cut with more kills later on. That would be good indeed. But as it is, it's a well made and entertaining movie which I feel you should check out.I drew M3GAN from the movie, the drawing is done with Bic ballpoint pen on A5 Brustro sketchbook.
