‘Companion’ Trailer Teases AI Horror From ‘Barbarian’ Team
The latest trailer for the chilling suspense movie presents a grim twist on the concept of artificial intelligence relationships, contrasting with the romanticized portrayals in films like Her and Blade Runner 2049. When a wealthy individual passes away, a series of seemingly unfortunate and gruesome incidents unfold for an AI named Iris and her human companions during their weekend at his lakeside mansion. The trailer offers a gripping portrayal of all the potential dangers in a robotic relationship, such as self-manipulation and violent acts, suggesting that owning an AI companion may lead to being outwitted by a superior machine.
