Why watch this film?
Imagine a bizarre and somewhat scary mix of the killer doll Chucky and the artificial intelligence HAL 9000 from '2001: A Space Odyssey'. The result, without a doubt, will be something very close to the doll-title of 'M3gan', a horror from Blumhouse produced by James Wan ('Insidious', 'The Conjuring'). The movie, directed by Gerard Johnstone ('Housebound'), tells the story of a toy engineer (Allison Williams) who develops this strange and full of personality M3gan doll to make company for her niece (Violet McGraw) who suffers from the death of her parents in an accident. From there, in this mix of killer toys with horrendous artificial intelligences, we follow this relationship becoming increasingly toxic, in which a child simply does not know how to live without this realistic doll. Although there is a lack of personality in several moments of the story, which would certainly be more powerful if it were directed by Wan himself, 'M3gan' entertains, scares and shows that many horror stories, which could be banal, stand out when they are not taken seriously.

Horror
The Nightman
The Nightman a dramatic thriller that explores the dangerous boundary between love and darkness. The story follows a young pregnant woman who begins to question the perfection of her boyfriend upon discovering his possible involvement in mysterious disappearances and murders, linked to his sleepwalking behavior. With praised performances and precise direction, the film delves into complex themes of relationships and personal dilemmas, keeping the audience engaged in its dark suspense.
Abigail
Abigail demonstrates why we should keep an eye on the director duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, especially when they have original material at their disposal (they also directed Scream 5 and 6, with mixed results). Abigail is a film that manages to balance the terror and tragedy of its characters with the absurdity of its premise, thanks to a clever script that plays with the conventions of vampire literature, careful direction, and a phenomenal cast (led by Mexican actress Melissa Barrera and Dan Stevens) that fully utilizes their roles. The plot follows a group of kidnappers tasked with a delicate job: to kidnap a millionaire's daughter for ransom. However, it all turns out to be a trap: beneath the guise of a 12-year-old girl, the victim is actually an ancient vampire who likes to play with her food. Like Ready or Not in its time, this film is self-aware, pushing its story and violence to the most absurd and fun limits without falling into self-parody. It won’t change the history of horror cinema, but it’s an excellent (and even stylish for a film of its genre, I dare say) choice for a fun time at the movies with friends.
