Prolific writer and director James Wan has plenty of experience with terrifying dolls because you have to look no further than his signature series “The Conjuring” to find Annabelle staring back at you. 

But Wan wasn’t looking for another haunted doll when he came up with the idea for a premise centered around “embracing technology too much” and “what happens when technology runs amok.” 

That was the spark of an idea that was handed over to screenwriter Akela Cooper, who had previously worked with Wan on the 2021 film “Malignant” as well as the well regarded horror film “Hell Fest.” 

What Cooper ultimately crafted was a horrific science fiction film with plenty of black comedy centered around a scientist who creates a childlike android as the next innovation in artificial intelligence except this time aimed at befriending kids. Unfortunately her creation soon becomes a cautionary tale in technology gone wrong…

In the latest episode of Rewind of the Living Dead, we’re going to bow down to our robot overlords as we review the 2022 horror film “M3gan”…
