Companion, directed by Drew Hancock, reimagines the classic boy-meets-girl narrative with a chilling twist as Iris, a loving girlfriend, reveals her true identity as a robot. The film cleverly critiques conventional AI horror tropes by contrasting Iris’ initial innocence with her hidden lethal capabilities after an assault. As the weekend getaway spirals into chaos, it not only plays with genre expectations but also imparts a feminist perspective, challenging viewers' perception of identity and agency within a horror framework, significantly bolstered by Thatcher’s versatile performance.
Iris and Josh's weekend at a remote villa takes a dark turn as secrets are unveiled, resulting in surprising violence and a shocking robot revelation.
Hancock's cleverly constructed sci-fi horror films not only entertain but also provide a feminist critique on societal norms through the character of Iris.
