The themes in this Allison Williams-starrer are dealt with pretty impressively. The story of M3GAN (the writer is James Wan of The Conjuring) holds many surprising themes that are very effective and are dealt with pretty impressively. There is no scarier horror trope than a doll or child with resident evil. So, a film about a robotic toy in blonde hair, frock, stockings and a bow, that goes bad, released on Friday the 13th, can go only one way.

However, this story (the writer is James Wan of The Conjuring) holds many surprising themes that are very effective and are dealt with pretty impressively – more than just the usual passing of time before Barbie unleashes her barbarian. Cady (McGraw), 9, loses her parents in an accident while on way to a skiing trip, landing her in the custody of her aunt Gemma (Williams). Far from the maternal kind, Gemma brings Cady home to a house with no toys except the “collectible” ones that are kept high up on shelves and are not to be trifled with, no story books, and no hugs. Gemma can barely even make time for Cady, caught up as she is in her high-stress job of programming toys in the highly competitive industry, to meet a coming Christmas deadline.
