after a peculiar premiere in which 8 M3GAN started dancing to Taylor Swift’s rhythm and which was also attended by the producer, Jason Blum, disguised as a character, come the first reactions to ‘M3GAN’, Blumhouse’s new horror bet directed by Gerard Johnstone and that we will be able to see in Spanish cinemas on January 4th.
While full reviews are still under embargo, such enthusiastic things can be read among the messages that screening attendees left on Twitter It’s like we’re looking at a new horror icon or one that has a Steven Spielberg twist. You can read some of the reactions below:
#M3GAN delivers our next big horror icon. The first film in a long time to make the most of the “killer doll” story while continuing to sculpt its own refined personality.
It’s the perfect balance of creepiness and dark humor. Like Malignant, the film rightfully earns the entire court. pic.twitter.com/gTppN8NXez

#M3GAN it’s a hoot and a half. At his best when he leans into the madness that made his marketing campaign so viral.
Packed full of great horror gags and dare I say a little Spielbergian in its sci-fi elements.
Certainly a franchise starter, and I’m here for the ride. ?? pic.twitter.com/vS84OqdHZ7

“M3GAN is a hoot and a half. It’s best when it builds on the insanity that made its marketing campaign so viral. It’s full of awesome horror gags and I daresay it is a bit Spielbergian in its sci-fi elements. Definitely the start of a franchise and it will be here for the ride.”
In case you’re wondering… yes, #M3GAN kills. Definitely more fun social satire than straight horror, but it’s inventive, clever, and VERY funny. It undoubtedly elevates the “Scary Doll” genre, but now I need an M3GAN vs Chucky movie immediately! pic.twitter.com/ZTkUyloTbI

“In case you were wondering… yes, M3GAN is deadly. It’s definitely more of a fun social satire than a simple horror, but he’s imaginative, clever, and VERY funny. It certainly elevates the “Killer Doll” genre, but now I need an M3GAN vs. Chucky movie now!”
Without falling into gore
‘M3GAN’ stars Allison Williams as a toy company roboticist and by Violet McGraw (“The Haunting of Hill House”) as little orphaned Cady to whom the psycho doll is attached. Even if we don’t see it, Amie Donald puts the body to M3GAN and Jenna Davis the voice in its original version.
Good, #M3GAN RULES. We all know I love a killer doll, and this girl is up there with the best of them. The film is filled with creepy moments, LOL-worthy shots, and cheeky one-liners that I’m still grinning gleefully at. Less bloody than you’d expect, but did I have a blast? pic.twitter.com/JexwQK7Ecb

“Well, ‘M3GAN’ COOL. We all know I love killer dolls, and this girl is up there among the best. The movie is filled with spooky moments, noteworthy shots, and one-liners that I still gleefully grinning over. Less bloody than one might expect, but I had a lot of fun”
I saw #M3GAN last night (and did some amazing interviews this morning) and it was a blast. The story beats are pretty much exactly what you’d expect, but M3gan herself is an instant icon and the tone is top-notch. I’ve laughed out loud so many times, yet it stayed dark the entire time. pic.twitter.com/3MxnEdJ5SK

“I watched ‘M3GAN’ last night (and did some amazing interviews this morning) and it’s fantastic. The pace of the story is exactly what you’d expect, but M3gan itself is an instant icon and the tone is top-notch. I’ve broken up so many times, but I’ve always been dark.
Believe the viral hype: #M3GAN It provides a series of campy naughtiness that will make some tremble, but there is a code in the code of M3GAN that makes rooting easy. Allison Williams completes a horror trifecta after GET OUT and THE PERFECTION, playing a convenient white lady, Dr. Frankenstein. pic.twitter.com/MwvoV5pC4o

“Believe the viral hype: ‘M3GAN’ has a cruel and mean streak that will make anyone tremble, but there is a code in the M3GAN code which makes the support easier. Allison Williams completes a terrifying trifecta after ‘Let Me Out’ and ‘Perfection’ as a well-timed Dr. Frankenstein.”
‘M3GAN’ opens in Spain on January 4, exclusively in theaters at Universal.
