The theme of "Meghan" is not new, and the self-aware artificial intelligence in turn becomes the main culprit that threatens humanity, but the film still creatively combines artificial intelligence with panic dolls.
For many people, the puppets that look panicked really "come to life", which is enough to stimulate the adrenaline rush, and the movie-watching atmosphere is absolutely in place.
