Sophie Thatcher stars in the horror comedy as a young woman who realizes she’s an android built for human companionship. David Daniel talks with the movie’s creator and stars.

Sophie Thatcher plays an AI-powered girlfriend who turns on her boyfriend (Jack Quaid) and embraces free will in high-tech horror film "Companion."

As “Companion” gears up for its release this weekend, it promises to be more than a typical AI thriller. By flipping genre conventions and focusing on the emotional core of its characters, the film offers a fresh perspective on technology, humanity, and what it means to truly belong.

There’s been a few films in recent years about robots going rogue (Like the highly successful M3GAN ), just to make you feel a bit on your toes about the rise of AI- and new horror film Companion is another entry into that genre.

Hot on the heels of her tremendous turn in Heretic, Sophie Thatcher proves she’s the scream queen to beat with this post-artificial intelligence comic spin on The Stepford Wives.

Set to release on Jan. 31, “Companion” follows Iris, a socially anxious young woman played by Sophie Thatcher, who believes she’s organically fallen in love with Josh, portrayed by Jack Quaid. However, her seemingly idyllic relationship unravels when she learns the truth: she’s an AI robot designed to meet his every desire.

Sophie Thatcher and 'The Boys' star Jack Quaid feature in the highly anticipated new horror movie produced by 'Barbarian' director Zach Cregger.

Disable your logic for 90 minutes and "Companion" will reward you with some clever twists and delicious ironies.

Iris is sweet and loving. Boyfriend Josh is cute and nerdy. But when the two travel to a secluded lake house for a weekend with friends, things turn dark and bloody fast.

The director behind Jack Quaid and Sophie Thatcher's sci-fi romance-thriller spills all ahead of its release January 31.

The filmmaker explains why no sequel is in his future, despite strong reviews and promising box office tracking.
