It wasn't going up on Peacock until today.

High-gloss, high-concept schlock, I frickin' loved it! 4/5.

Ran the unrated cut last night (held out and never watched the theatrical) and it was a really fun watch, especially the second half. Bring on sequels!

For anyone who saw the PG-13 cut, what are the differences. I have Peacock so I could find out for myself, but I'm too lazy right now.

Agreed on all counts. I thought it was pretty good. Most horror movies don't resonate with me anymore, so I appreciate that this one was kind of light on the standard horror aspects.

Count me as someone who didn't like this at all. Predictable and ludicrous... and I would like to know why a machete was sitting on top of a copying machine for M3GAN to grab? The pressure washer was stupid too.

I wouldn't be surprised to find a machete in an office like that before seeing a paper cutter.

Yeah, those are pretty normal to find in an office environment. We have one in ours and that thing absolutely would fuck someone up.

Watched this tonight on Peacock. Pretty decent movie. Good modern take on the Chucky/Child’s Play type of concept.
Some silly/over the top aspects but it worked. Definitely an effectively creepy film. The standout kill was definitely Brandon. That was pretty brutal.
The characters of Gemma and Cady were well acted overall. The boss character (David) was annoying but I get we were supposed to dislike him so his kill was better.
I liked it overall and will watch a sequel.

The unrated version is a few seconds shorter than the theatrical. I always watch the theatrical versions first since that’s what played in theaters, as said here they wanted it to be PG-13 for some reason so that’s part of the movie’s history.
This was entertaining but not ground-breaking. Obviously a commentary on how we rely on technology too much.

Does the Aliens powerloader scene as well as any film since the original.
