In Companion, a seemingly idyllic getaway takes a dark turn when Iris (Sophie Thatcher) begins to uncover unsettling truths about herself. Invited to a remote lakeside estate with her boyfriend Josh (Jack Quaid) and their friends, she starts experiencing strange lapses in memory and an eerie sense of detachment. As tensions rise and secrets unravel, Iris is forced to confront reality—she isn’t who she thought she was. Blending palpable tension with sci-fi horror and incredibly effective comedy, Companion explores the fragility of identity, the ethics of artificial intelligence, and the blurred lines between love and control. Did I also mention that it's funny?
