If you are not paying close attention to the script you are missing out. There have been dozens of films about wayward AI, and no doubt there will be dozens more. But writers Cooper and Wan have somehow put together all the key tropes in a way which builds momentum over the course of the story, instead of repeatedly gut-punching the viewer, as in most other versions of this tale. So many things are slightly off-kilter here (compared to similar stories) that the movie, like the doll, starts to develop a life of its own. For example, the main character played by Alison Williams is completely unappealing. When Megan squares off against Williams, which happens a lot, you will find yourself rooting for the doll. Seriously. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."
