‘Companion’ Trailer Reveals Twisted Sci-Fi Horror with AI at Its Core

The upcoming film, starring Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid, explores AI, relationships, and empowerment through a mix of horror, comedy, and sci-fi.

Companion follows the story of Iris, an android designed as the perfect partner, whose relationship with her owner Josh takes a dark turn.
The film blends horror, sci-fi, and comedic elements, with a narrative that challenges traditional AI tropes by portraying AI as the character with the most humanity.
Directed by Drew Hancock and produced by the creative team behind Barbarian, the movie has drawn comparisons to other genre-defying films like M3GAN but takes a unique approach to AI storytelling.
Critics who have seen the film praise Sophie Thatcher's performance and recommend avoiding the trailer to fully experience its twists and surprises.
Companion is set to release in U.S. theaters on January 31, 2025, and early reviews describe it as a thrilling, original, and genre-bending film.
