Barbarian was one of the craziest horror movies to come out in recent memory, and the same team is coming back for a movie called Companion starring Jack Quaid (The Boys) and Sophie Thatcher (Yellowjackets). The movie is set to come out later this month, and it just got an interesting new trailer.
Check this out:
The movie is being very intentionally vague about their marketing, and the only synopsis that fans have so far is this: A billionaire’s death sets off a chain of events for Iris and her friends during a weekend trip to his lakeside estate.
By the looks of it, Thatcher is playing some kind of sophisticated sex robot that is altered by Quaid’s character, but things go horribly awry when she becomes sentient and starts going after her owners.
If you’ve watched Barbarian, you’ll expect Companion to have an unpredictable story that just goes to unexpected places. While the sex robot thing could be one part of the story, it’s possible that the trailer is hiding some other big twist that could come out of nowhere.
I’ll admit, a January release looks like the studio didn’t have much faith in the movie, but so far Companion looks interesting, and the quality of Barbarian alone should entice someone to check out the movie. It should be a great herald to the upcoming Valentine’s season. Who wants to take their girlfriend to see Captain America 4?
Watch out for Companion when it hit theatres on Jan 31.
