M3gan viewers' reaction to the film has been chaotic to say the least

Hello, hi, and welcome to a look at the best reactions to M3gan, the new chaotic and camp sci-fi meets horror film which hit cinemas this weekend.

As the official synopsis explains, "M3GAN is a marvel of artificial intelligence, a life-like doll programmed to be a child’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally. Designed by brilliant toy-company roboticist Gemma (Get Out’s Allison Williams), M3GAN can listen and watch and learn as she becomes friend and teacher, playmate and protector, for the child she is bonded to.

"When Gemma suddenly becomes the caretaker of her orphaned 8-year-old niece, Cady (Violet McGraw, The Haunting of Hill House), Gemma’s unsure and unprepared to be a parent. Under intense pressure at work, Gemma decides to pair her M3GAN prototype with Cady in an attempt to resolve both problems—a decision that will have unimaginable consequences."

Judging by the reaction to the film on social media, the horror film is equal parts scary and tongue in cheek, poking fun at the horror genre while also being a little bit creepy. Some people are particularly obsessed with the fact M3gan often breaks into unpredictable song:

Others were pointing out the sometimes-scary sometimes-funny vibe:

While other viewers are hailing her as the new queen of horror:

Group cinema trip, anyone?

M3gan is now streaming in cinemas.
