It can be quite a challenging task trying to remember viral dance routines from TikTok<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With every passing week, it feels like there’s a new song and matching movement to learn.<\/p>\n

So, if you’re struggling to remember why Universal Pictures’ M3GAN sent the internet into a frenzy in 2022, then fear not\u2014Channel 4<\/a> has you covered.<\/p>\n

Airing on Saturday night for the enjoyment of horror fans, this twisted film about a seemingly sweet AI doll became an instant success three years ago after it capitalised on viral attention. <\/p>\n

The meme in question was created after fans tried to recreate the doll’s eerie dance routine.<\/p>\n

Writing on X tonight as the sci-fi flick launched on the small screen at 10pm, @WestBromEL said: ‘I’m watching M3GAN on @Channel4, it’s seriously creepy.’<\/p>\n

@Mixer4everx added: ‘Watching m3gan on channel 4. I love this movie.’<\/p>\n

Written by Akela Cooper, the film follows an artificially intelligent doll who develops self-awareness and becomes hostile toward anyone who comes between her and her human companion.<\/p>\n

Designed by Gemma, who is played by Get Out’s Allison Williams, M3GAN goes from simply being able to listen, watch, and learn to being a full-blown killing machine.<\/p>\n

In the first week it was released, the somewhat comedic horror grossed nearly \u00a324.9million, well above its predictions of \u00a314million.<\/p>\n
