As artificial intelligence becomes more powerful, people are increasingly concerned about its potential dangers. This fear has made its way into horror films, like the new movie Companion.
This film mixes horror, sci-fi, and romance. Written and directed by Drew Hancock, known for the TV series My Dead Ex, it stars Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid as a couple escaping to a friend’s cabin for a weekend getaway.
But things take an unexpected turn. The cabin is not just a place for fun; it holds secrets, and not everyone is who they appear to be. Thatcher and Quaid deliver strong performances, navigating a range of emotions while building great chemistry on-screen.
The film keeps you guessing. While the trailer reveals some surprises, the story is filled with twists that will leave you wondering what could happen next. The characters are smart, engaging in a cleverly crafted game of cat-and-mouse. Each shift in power feels logical, keeping the audience engaged without any major plot holes.
Set in a striking location, the cabin feels both isolated and vast. The film uses AI elements in a meaningful way, avoiding clichés. It brings to mind films like the new Child’s Play and M3gan, but approaches the topic with a more serious touch.
The soundtrack features catchy love songs, adding a nostalgic feel to the film. As the tension builds, Companion creates a captivating world that could easily turn into a franchise.
You can currently stream Companion on Amazon Prime and Fandango.
