Megan: A Surprisingly Good Blum House Film
The first movie of 2023, Megan, may not be what you expect from a Blum House horror film. It tells the story of a little girl who loses her parents in a car accident and her aunt who works at a tech company offering her an AI companion doll. Despite its lack of blood and gore, it manages to convey a powerful message about human connection and the dangers of relying on technology as a parental crutch.
The movie has its flaws, such as tonal inconsistencies and unnecessary length, but it’s impressively effective at making the audience feel uneasy about the idea of always being watched and listened to. Megan is not the typical AI doll that goes on a killing spree, but it does have a few surprising twists towards the end.
Overall, the movie is a remake of the Child’s Play remake but manages to stand on its own by utilizing its unique premise. The protagonist is a child, and we genuinely care about her emotional state as she bonds with the doll. It’s not purely about horror, but rather a commentary on the human condition.
If you’re expecting a gory slasher flick, Megan might not be your cup of tea. But if you’re looking for a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant movie, give it a chance. It may surprise you.
