M3GAN 2.0 star Ivanna Sakhno explains how she brought horror villain AMELIA to life and what it was like having a creepy animatronic version of herself on set: "I cannot begin to tell you how unsettling it is"

Ivanna Sakhno as AM3LIA in M3GAN 2.0.

I found a whole life within her, even though she's an AI."
