Allison Williams (Girls), Violet McGraw and Ronny Chieng (The Daily Show) star in this very creepy horror film to ease you into 2023. Gemma is a brilliant roboticist at a toy company. She uses cutting edge artificial intelligence technology to develop M3GAN, a life-like doll programmed to be a child’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally.
After unexpectedly gaining custody of her recently orphaned niece Cady, when the child’s parents died in a car accident, Gemma enlists the help of the M3GAN prototype. The decision has horrific consequences when the robot becomes self-aware and overprotective of Cady, leading her to kill everyone in her way.

Jacob Latimore and Tosin Cole star as a couple of best friends. Out of money, down on their luck and freshly fired from their low-lift jobs as house cleaners, two aspiring club promoters decide to host the party of the year at LeBron‘s exclusive mansion. Seems simple enough, but will they pull it off? I think you can guess.
