This article contains spoilers. In a time when artificial intelligence is becoming exponentially more popular and profitable, new film “Companion” casts a reflection on human relationships in the age of advanced AI technology.

Friend, a startup creating a $99, AI-powered necklace designed to be treated as a digital companion, has delayed its first batch of shipments.

Sophie Thatcher coolly holds down the center of a horror-comedy that's closer in tone to the entertaining silliness of 'M3GAN' than anything truly disturbing.

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

Early in "Companion," lovely Iris and her nerdy-nice boyfriend Josh are driving to a secluded lake house for a stay with friends. Iris wakes from a nap and lovingly tells Josh she was dreaming about him. They reminisce about how they first met at the supermarket. All those oranges tumbling onto the floor! Ha ha.

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.

Iris, wake up!” Early in “Companion,” lovely Iris and her nerdy-nice boyfriend Josh are driving to a secluded lake house for a stay with friends. Iris wakes from a nap and lovingly tells Josh she was dreaming about him.

Jack Quaid says he was absolutely fascinated by the “amazing twists and turns” in his new horror movie, Companion.

FlickDirect’s Allison Rose sits down with Companion (2025) director and writer Drew Hancock to discuss his unique take on AI, horror, and human relationships in his new thriller. Originally conceived as a traditional “AI gone wrong” horror, Companion evolved into a deep, emotional story about self-discovery, toxic relationships, and empowerment.

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.

Iris has only had two truly defining moments in life. The day she met Josh. And the day she killed him. With that deliciously ominous prelude, the film sets the stage for a rollercoaster of deception, manipulation, and technological terror.
