A creepy horror film that has fans on the edge of their seat is streaming for free tonight and is the perfect watch this Halloween weekend. M3GAN is a horror film centred around a creepy doll that is programmed to be a child's greatest companion . After finding herself in possession of a young girl, aged 8, M3GAN is soon seen going rogue as she embarks on a brutal killing spree to 'protect' her. Released in 2023, it became a hit among horror fans and even spawned a sequel titled M3GAN 2.0 which came out just this year. A synopsis for the original reads: "M3GAN is a marvel of artificial intelligence, a lifelike doll that's programmed to be a child's greatest companion and a parent's greatest ally. "Designed by Gemma, a brilliant roboticist, M3GAN can listen, watch and learn as it plays the role of friend and teacher, playmate and protector. When Gemma becomes the unexpected caretaker of her 8-year-old niece, she decides to give the girl an M3GAN prototype, a decision that leads to unimaginable consequences." Now, the film is available to stream for free tonight (November 1), for those looking for a perfect spooky watch this Halloween weekend. M3GAN will be on Film 4 at 9pm. Directed by Gerard Johnstone, the film received an impressive rating of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes as praise continues to pour in.

To call it horror would be a little wrong, because it is much more Sci-Fi. It of course does have horror elements and moments, that normally come in the form of slasher films. "Despite being PG-13, the film is quite grisly for it's rating. There are scenes of ears being ripped off, someone being killed with pesticides from a power washer, but it certainly makes the movie all the more memorable. "In my opinion, M3GAN is an absolutely fantastic film, but like most films, it isn't for everyone. You'll either be somewhat entertained, or massively entertained. Great movie!" Fans will remember that at the end of the first film, M3GAN met a brutal end at the hands of her creator after going on a killing spree. Set two years after these events, M3GAN 2.0 saw the technology that made the creepy doll being stolen, and M3GAN being revived to help save humanity. M3GAN is streaming tonight at 9pm on Film4.
