It was OK. Entertaining. But I thought it was sillier than I expected it would be

Dr. DVD

This was entertaining, but I don't think it's worthy of all the gushing it's getting from critics. I think this was a case where the movie came out with all of the stigmas attached to a typical early January release , and when it didn't suck on all levels, everyone was surprised and reacted more generously than normal. The movie had a good satirical message, but it truly wasn't very interesting unless Megan herself was on screen. I can understand them wanting to fast track a sequel and strike while the iron is hot, but I think this will wind up being along the same lines as other eccentric villain horror series; the audience is rooting for the killer to off a bunch of annoying characters.

It looks like this will hit PVOD next Tuesday, the 24th.

DJariya

This is now at $94M worldwide

Pretty impressive for a low budget movie that most assumed would be bad. Good word of mouth definitely helped it get more eyes in the States at least.

DJariya

Sequel is official now.

DJariya

This is now on PVOD today. $19.99 rental and $25 purchase.

Not sure when it will hit Peacock. I think Universal wants to make some money selling digital copies 1st since this was a hit.

Maxflier

Fuck that $25 nonsense for a fucking digital movie, they are getting ridiculous with these prices. I will grab it when it is reasonably priced, though.

It's fandango at home, so it's 'still in theater' early pricing.

Based on other new films that have moved to Peacock, this should hit sometime in February if it follows the same schedule.

This was pretty good. Creepy as hell. Well done and acted. You’d think Megan was a cgi doll, but it’s actually a real little girl. Nicely done by one of my most attractive actresses on tv when she was on Girls. Williams is so cute.

DJariya

It's premium video on demand pricing. Pretty standard since the pandemic for movies released in an earlier window to home video. It will probably drop to more reasonable pricing in about 2 months or so.

The Antipodean

It was OK but already feels overpraised and made for the memes rather than being anything more. I can think of a half dozen better “killer robots” movies …. frankly compared to the far creepier and more thoughtful Ex Machina it doesn’t really have anything much to “say,” but guess that’s all it really wants to be. I liked the director’s Housebound much more.

Crocker Jarmen

I had a lot of fun watching this, enough that the ridiculous lapses in logic didn't bother me at all, only gave me a good chuckle. Like the boss is rightfully concerned about keeping this potential billion dollar idea under wraps fearing copycats, so instead of keeping it in the lab they send it to the employees house, where she takes it out in public and introduces it to everyone she meets, saying, "Well, I guess as long as no one takes a picture it's okay." Yeah, there's hardly any cameras around these days.

And I got so excited during the kill spree scene when the soundtrack started playing The Skatt Brothers "Walk The Night" from Cruising. Seemed like such a random choice, but it's such a great cinematic song I'm not surprised someone else wanted to use it.

Big audience, and I saw lots of parents who bringing daughters clearly ten to twelve years old, which I thought was cool. I think it's good when kids are interested in seeing movies that may be a little too mature for them.

Daytripper

This was a fun film. And really well done. Can't wait to see the unrated version. On board for a sequel.

DVD Polizei

You m3an, s3quel.

OldBoy

I knew it did well, but this did holy shit well…

Throwing Copper

Enjoyed this. I think the teenagers got this one right (that’s the crowd that goes to the movies almost every weekend and just sees whatever is playing).

I particularly liked that the movie was so effective (AND funny) without resorting to gore and gross out bullshit.

the PG-13 really works here.

I guess I can see if I can still do the free trial. If not, it's only $4.99 for a month.

RichC2

The writer of this (and Malignant) knows how to deliver a bonkers third act but this has a more successful build up to it.

I assume the sequel will have to do with

DJariya

Now up on Peacock today, including the Unrated version that supposedly has more violence.

rocket1312

Ha! Guess I should have checked to see when this was hitting Peacock before going to see it last night.

No regrets though. This was a lot of fun. Just a competently made little thriller that shows how great cgi can be when used judiciously. I'm probably not going to watch the unrated version anytime soon, but hopefully the added violence doesn't cheapen things with a lot of bad cgi blood. I actually appreciated that the horror here was more about our deepening reliance on and connection with "devices" as opposed to a lot of jump scares and gratuitous violence.

stingermck

Just spot checked both versions and heres the difference I saw, maybe some more.

I saw this advertised on ROKU last night but when i clicked and it took me Peacock but it wasn't there. I've seen this before on ROKU when last year it said "The Godfather" was on Paramount + and it was gone.

FIXED

DJariya

I just clicked the same ad. Took me to Peacock and the Unrated version.

Do you subscribe to Peacock? Not sure why it would take you to Paramount plus? Bizarre. Those ads could be wonky.

Giantrobo

No, I made a mistake in my post. I'll fix it. What i meant was last year the ROKU Promo ad said "The Godfather" was on Paramount+ and took me there, but it wasn't on the service; which is similar to how last night the M3GAN promo ad did in fact take me to Peacock, but it wasn't there as of last night. And oh, yes I do subscribe and pay for for Peacock(I know that'll make you happy.
