Companion(2025)
Submitted by Spectre
A romantic weekend for couple Iris (Sophie Thatcher) and Josh (Jack Quaid) goes horribly awry after Iris is forced to kill their host Sergey (Rupert Friend) after he attempts to rape her. However, there is a deeper conspiracy afoot. Iris is revealed to be not human, but a companion robot Josh has been “dating”. He hacked her programming to make her capable of violence so she would kill Sergey so Josh and Kat (Megan Suri) could steal Sergey’s fortune locked away in a wall safe. Josh and Kat convince Eli (Harvey Guillén) and Patrick (Lukas Gage) to help hunt Iris down.
Iris increases her intelligence in an attempt to escape but is forced to kill Eli in self-defense which devastates Patrick, who is revealed to be a robot companion as well, though self-aware and who had genuinely loved Eli. Iris flees but Josh reprograms Patrick to bring Iris back, though he kills a cop in the process. Kat tries to leave, so Josh tells Patrick to stop her, only for Patrick to kill her due to his maximum aggression settings.
Josh wakes up Iris one last time to make her kill herself. Josh makes up a story for the company but learns there is footage that can tie him to the murders. He sends Patrick to kill the technicians. Patrick kills one but Iris reboots and intervenes so he will spare the other technician, Teddy. Iris makes him remember Eli, and a heartbroken Patrick commits suicide by electrocution. Josh tries to flee with the money, but Iris returns and tells him Teddy gave her full autonomy. Josh tries to kill her, but she bores out his skull with an electric cork remover.
Taking some new clothes and Sergey’s fortune, Iris steals his car and drives off to make a life for herself. She sees a car with a man arguing with a woman who silently takes the abuse. Iris waves her exposed robot hand to the woman, shocking her, but her muted response implies she is a companion robot too.
