The official trailer for Companion has arrived, offering a haunting love story… with a sci-fi horror twist. Take a look above.

After months of intrigue, the full trailer for sheds light on this mysterious horror-thriller produced by Barbarian mastermind Zach Cregger. Sophie Thatcher (Yellowjackets, The Boogeyman, Heretic) stars as Iris, a seemingly ordinary woman swept off her feet by Jack Quaid’s (The Boys, Scream) charming billionaire, Josh. But their whirlwind romance takes a sinister turn when Iris discovers a shocking truth: she’s a sex robot programmed to fulfil her “partner’s” twisted desires.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, writer-director Drew Hancock, making his feature debut here, revealed that he was initially reluctant to reveal that major plot twist in the trailer but acknowledged the balance required in marketing a film. “The silver lining of showing the audience [that] this is a movie about a robot is it’s a way to kind of get ahead of anyone dismissing it as another robot movie,” he said. He pointed out that Companion is far from the likes of M3GAN or Subservience: “It’s not A.I. gone wrong, it’s A.I. gone right.”

The film’s cast also features Lukas Gage (Smile 2), Megan Suri (It Lives Inside), Harvey Guillén (What We Do in the Shadows), and Rupert Friend (Asteroid City). The behind-the-scenes team includes cinematographer Eli Born (The Boogeyman), production designer Scott Kuzio (Fear Street), and composer Hrishikesh Hirway (Song Exploder).

Companion is gearing up for its theatrical debut on 30 January in Australia and 31 January in the US.
