Companion

"Companion" (2025) is a horror-thriller about a woman (Sophie Thatcher) who installs a lifelike male AI companion (Jack Quaid) that turns obsessively violent, exploring toxic relationships and AI dangers. Minimal woke elements: a strong female lead fights back (standard horror trope, not preachy), diverse supporting cast (e.g., Harvey Guillén) feels organic, no overt progressive messaging, identity politics, or social justice themes. Prioritizes tense storytelling over ideology.
