A trailer for new horror film M3GAN has gone viral for an absurdly camp dance sequence from the titular killer android little girl.

The producer of Annabelle is back on his scary doll BS with a terrifying villain who boogies like she’s in a Sia music video.

The film features Girls alumni Allison Williams as robotics engineer Gemma, who takes in her niece Katie after a fatality in the family.

Gemma designs the ultimate toy for her grieving relative named Megan — or Model Three Generative Android — who has an unhealthy attachment style and quickly becomes protective of her new BFF.

It’s all fun and games for a bit; Katie and Megan practice TikTok-esque moves, play thumb wars, and have deep and meaningfuls, but slowly, Megan starts disobeying orders, running on all fours, and … pushing children on to roads.

“Megan, your goal is to protect Katie from harm — both physical and emotional,” says Gemma to the glorified, tangible Siri. But in all fairness, with what’s in store for Gemma and Katie, miss Megan was simply doing as she was told.

Then, in between explosions, deaths, and strangulation: a dance  montage of Megan shimmying down a hallway while en route to destroy her next victim has sent the internet into a spin. Slay, Megan!

“Don’t worry Katie, I won’t let anything harm you,” she says menacingly. “Ever again.”

M3GAN will hit cinemas in 2023. Watch the full trailer below.
