We’re not even a full week into 2023 yet, but fans of horror movies already have a new offering to enjoy in just a few days. Blumhouse’s "M3GAN" hits theaters this weekend, with the movie following a roboticist named Gemma who uses the M3GAN (Model 3 Generative Android) doll she designed to be a child’s companion to look after her recently-orphaned niece Cady, only for things to go horribly wrong. Following the first early reactions for "M3GAN" dropping last month, reviews for the Blumhouse feature are now trickling in, so what do critics think about it?

Well, as previously indicated by the social media reactions, it looks Blumhouse has another hit on its hands, though it may not necessarily reach exceptional status for some. Starting off, CinemaBlend’s own Eric Eisenberg stamped M3GAN with 3.5 out of 5 stars in his review, saying that the movie is filled with “thrills” and “chuckles,” and “has a white-knuckle grasp on what it is,” but the PG-13 rating does hinder the story a little bit.
