If you're a horror fan, 2023 is off to a roaring start. M3GAN is a breakout hit that puts a modern sci-fi spin on the classic killer doll format.

Really, the film's success should be no surprise, as it has James Wan (the writer of SAW) and Jason Blum (the man behind Paranormal Activity, The Purge and countless others) behind the wheel.

As funny as it is creepy, M3GAN is a thrilling ride from start to finish. Here's everything you need to know, including when and where you can watch it at home.

M3GAN: What you need to know

M3GAN stars Allison Williams as Gemma, an engineer at a toy company working on an ambitious AI robotic doll. When tragedy strikes, she ends up looking after her late sister's child, Cady, played by Violet McGraw.

Gemma is not a natural caregiver, and her work requires much of her time and attention. So, in order to keep Cady entertained, she decides to let her beta test the new robotic doll, named M3GAN.

As you might imagine, things steadily get out of hand from that point onwards and the result is plenty of scares and just as many laughs. If you enjoyed Black Mirror, we think it's safe to say you'll enjoy this movie, too.
