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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Throughout his career, Quaid has proven himself as a versatile actor who can play anyone from nice guys like Hughie Campbell in The Boys and Brad Boimler in Star Trek: Lower Decks to twisted characters such as Richie Kirsch in Scream.
