Social Pictures: M3GAN preview screening at the Light House Cinema

A new release currently causing quite the stir in cinemas, here are some social photos from the Irish preview screening of M3GAN.

She’s more than just a toy. She’s part of the family.

From the most prolific minds in horror — James Wan, the filmmaker behind the Saw, Insidious, and The Conjuring franchises, and Blumhouse, the producer of the Halloween films, The Black Phone, and The Invisible Man — comes a fresh new face in terror.

M3GAN is a marvel of artificial intelligence, a life-like doll programmed to be a child’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally. Designed by brilliant toy-company roboticist Gemma (Get Out‘s Allison Williams), M3GAN can listen and watch and learn as she becomes friend and teacher, playmate and protector, for the child she is bonded to.

When Gemma suddenly becomes the caretaker of her orphaned 8-year-old niece, Cady (Violet McGraw, The Haunting of Hill House), Gemma’s unsure and unprepared to be a parent. Under intense pressure at work, Gemma decides to pair her M3GAN prototype with Cady in an attempt to resolve both problems—a decision that will have unimaginable consequences.

Ahead of its Irish cinematic release on January 13, a select few were invited out to the Light House Cinema in Dublin for a very special preview screening of the film. Among those in attendance on the night were Paddy Smyth, Holly Carpenter, Emmanuel Agbons, and Dillon St Paul.
