The January 2023 movie calendar is taking shape, and horror fans already have something to look forward to. In many ways “Megan” looks very much like a January movie release. But it also looks like the kind of schlocky B-movie horror that I tend to have fun with. The film has several interesting names attached. It’s Blumhouse produced. James Wan gets a story credit. Akela Cooper (“Malignant”) wrote the screenplay. It stars Allison Williams (“Get Out”).
The story is undeniably goofy, but in a pretty entertaining way. Williams plays Gemma, a high-tech toy maker who uses artificial intelligence to create M3GAN (Model 3 Generative Android), a life-like prototype doll programmed to be a child’s best friend and protector. When her niece suddenly loses her parents in a terrible accident, Gemma is given custody. Overwhelmed, she brings home M3GAN to help care for her niece. Guess how that goes. M3GAN evolves and bloodshed ensues. The trailer’s second half looks absolutely bonkers which is kinda what you want from a movie borrowing from so many others that came before it. We’ll see.
“Megan” hits theaters January 13th. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

Artificial intelligence for a character? That’s super interesting!
I hope they can pull this off. It looks wacky enough to be a lot of fun. I’ll be checking it out.
Awesome. I hope it’s fun.
I could do with a Megan! 🤣
This one is all yours! LOL
First time seeing the trailer here. I knew this was coming out in January and from the description I knew it would be my wife and I’s “New Year B-Movie.” It seems every year some studio has a wacky movie to dump onto the Jan. – early Feb. schedule, and this will likely be 2023’s for us to see in a theatre. Some early-year, bizarre films we made sure to see out include Haywire (Jan. 2012), Mortdecai (Jan. 2015), Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (Feb. 2016), and Winchester (Feb. 2018).
Oh yes. January is notorious. I’m going into this one with that mindset. That tends to make these a bit more fun.
OH HELL YEAH!!!!!
LOL. I love that enthusiasm.

I’m in! I used to have a movie review blog dedicated to creepy little girls (it was actually called creepy little girls) and this makes me want to start it up again. The cognitive dissonance watching this will be through the roof. Thanks for the heads up, I’ve already sent a text to my horror movie companion, daughter #3, that we’ll go see it. Hopefully it will be as good as it looks.
Movies like this can be a lot of fun. I’m definitely seeing it. My wife was an automatic “no thanks”. But my daughter and son were both good to go.
That’s great you have someone to watch it with you. Not as much fun when there’s no one next to you to jump or hide their eyes.
Oh they don’t hardly go to the theaters with me. I see a lot solo. Still, any chance I get to take them, I do.
Megan is a great movie. Everyone must see it. Moviefeed Megan. The doll’s dances and slaying in it were awesome to watch.
This movie is amazing…
I know it won over a lot of people.
