Happy hump day everyone! For Reel Film Nerds Episode 306 we chat about our first horror movie of 2023 M3GAN. Additional topics include the TV show Girls, donkeys, and what is elevated horror. Does this film really qualify as a horror movie or is it a thriller? Matt and Mike think M3GAN leans more towards psychological thriller than a horror flick. The things you don’t see or experience are just as scary as the things the film does show you. M3GAN, the AI doll, is basically a mix of Terminator and Chucky with a sprinkle of everyone’s favorite Alexa device thrown in for good measure. This film is a story that has been done over and over again just not quite like this. One of the best questions M3GAN raises is a kid's dependency on their guardian and should an AI be that guardian? There are some really interesting scenes that do make this film worth a watch. Just seeing the doll M3GAN do her thing and how well she does it is a feat in its own right. They really nailed it visually and audibly. Matt and Mike diffe
