M3GAN plot
"She's more than a toy. She's family."
M3GAN is a doll developed using artificial intelligence. As a result, she is able to emotionally bond with her 'owner': an orphaned child. However, the programming of the doll goes haywire, causing her to act overprotective towards the orphaned child. With all its consequences.

The digital Chucky: nothing groundbreaking and least of all believable, with a young girl practically making an artificially intelligent robot all by herself. But still a fun idea, and the doll is also wonderfully designed, with the right combination of softness and creepiness. In the meantime, we occasionally see the desperation of overly soft parents, something everyone probably recognizes around them these days. That causes annoyance, but fortunately, by that time the emphasis is on over-the-top entertainment, as M3gan quickly enters murderous mode. Why exactly that is never entirely clear; it is mostly blamed on "well, they made a mess of the AI and protocols are missing."
The best scenes actually happen before M3gan starts killing. The child develops a bond with the doll, and you can certainly see the enormous potential of something like this, since they can both learn from the interactions. And that, in turn, raises questions regarding the downsides it can create: lazy and absent parents, as well as a potential inability to let go of the relationship with such an expensive toy.
