After a very mysterious first teaser trailer, 'Companion' gained a lot of conversation around it, specially with Sophie Thatcher attached to the project, one fo the newest horror darlings. After her role in 'Yellowjackets' and most recently in A24's 'Heretic' the internet is crazy for her and wants to see her everywhere.
That's where this upcoming movie comes to save the day, a couple of days ago, all we knew about 'Companion' was that Jack Quaid and Sophie Thatchet were the main characters, a codependant and toxic relationship where Iris (Thatcher) lived only for Josh (Quaid), with her willing to go to extreme lenghts and bare horrible things just to satisfy him.
Certainly an intriguing premise that could make you raise your eyebrow and keep this title in mind for the next time you want to see a psychological thriller. But there are key details missing that would make the fans of the genre go running to the theaters on premiere day, and now we have it.
Iris, this picture perfect partner trapped in an abusive relationship, is a sexbot. That's why she thinks of Josh as the best thing in her life, that's why she can't disobey anything he says no matter how awful, but after he tries to jailbreak her software, everything turns in her favour.
The movie is from the creators of 'Barbarian', another hit movie that had the internet going crazy back in 2022, so it's normal to expect that this one is gonna be just as good, if not even better when it comes to being unexpected, fun and ruthless. Are you gonna buy your tickets for the 31st?
