As a cinephile with a penchant for all things eerie and suspenseful, I can hardly contain my excitement about the upcoming horror flick, SOULM8TE. With Lily Sullivan, who has already proven her mettle as a Scream Queen, leading the cast, this film is bound to be a thrilling ride. And with Kate Dolan, who gave us the chilling Irish folklore thriller You Are Not My Mother, at the helm, I am confident that this movie will deliver a heart-stopping experience.
Blumhouse is delving further into the mysterious realm of technology with the creation of SOULM8TE. The forthcoming horror film (that can also be categorized as a future sci-fi movie) follows a narrative structure reminiscent of CHILD’S PLAY – the studio’s 2022 blockbuster about a child’s robotic toy that becomes lethal – but with an additional, perhaps we might say, unexpected twist. In this guide to SOULM8TE, we will furnish you with further details about the upcoming Blumhouse movie.
What Is The SOULM8TE Release Date?
SOULM8TE is presently scheduled for release in theaters on January 2, 2026. Unfortunately, we can’t disclose that it will be coming out a bit earlier and has a place on our upcoming 2025 movie lineup. Nevertheless, there is another technophobic Blumhouse film titled “AfrAId” set to hit theaters in 2024, where an advanced virtual assistant proves lethal.
What SOULM8TE Is About
As a fervent enthusiast, it’s not hard to pick up on the fact that SOULM8TE is yet another thrilling venture from Blumhouse, revolving around a technological leap with lethal consequences. However, what sets this production apart is its mature exploration of themes, blending the poignant romance depicted in the Oscar-winning 2013 film Her with thought-provoking elements reminiscent of the most captivating episodes from Black Mirror.
The narrative centers around a man dealing with the grief of his wife’s demise. In an attempt to alleviate his solitude, he procures an android modeled as a human and endowed with artificial intelligence. However, as he develops emotional bonds with this creation, it turns out to be hazardous.
SOULM8TE Is Set In The M3GAN Universe
In our initial discussion, we noted that the storyline of “SOULM8TE” bears a striking resemblance to “M3GAN“. To elaborate, not only does it share similarities with one of the top horror films from 2022, but it also seems to be set within the same cinematic universe.
Initially, Bloody House unveiled “SOULM8TE” as a spin-off from “M3GAN”, aiming to extend the universe created by the unexpected success. This could mark the beginning of an extensive anthology of terrifying horror films tailored for the modern era, establishing a new franchise of outstanding horror movies for the digital age.
The SOULM8TE Cast
Over the past few years, artificial intelligence has made significant strides and gained widespread attention, but there’s no denying that it cannot match the authenticity of human acting prowess. Fortunately, the upcoming series SOULM8TE boasts an ensemble cast comprised entirely of real-life actors whose roles are yet to be formally announced. Let’s delve into who will grace our screens in this thriller and what other works they may be recognized from.
David Rysdahl
David Rysdahl has previously ventured into horror genres, appearing in movies like “No Exit” on Hulu and the upcoming horror-comedy “Booger” in 2023, as well as the “Black Mirror” episode “Mazey Day,” alongside his wife Zazie Beetz. While he may not be as widely recognized for these roles, Rysdahl has also made notable appearances in Christopher Nolan’s film “Oppenheimer” as chemist and explosives expert Donald Hornig and in “Fargo” Season 5 by Noah Hawley as Wayne Lyon. In the coming years, he will rejoin Hawley for the science fiction TV series, “Alien: Earth,” set to premiere on FX in 2025.
Claudia Doumit
In a new development, Claudia Doumit will make her first foray into feature-length horror with SOULM8TE. Notably, this Australian actor was previously seen in the chilling musical comedy series “How to Be a Vampire” back in 2016. While she is recognized for her roles as Jiya in the time travel drama “Timeless” and Victoria Neumann on “The Boys”, it’s regrettable to mention that Victoria won’t reappear in “The Boys” Season 5.
Lily Sullivan
Born and bred as a seasoned Scream Queen, having starred in the fifth installment of the ‘Evil Dead’ movies, ‘Evil Dead Rise’ in 2023, and ‘Monolith’ the following year, is Lily Sullivan – another talented Australian actor. Kicking off her acting career with the dark satire ‘Mental’ in 2012, she later shared screen time with Daniel Radcliffe in ‘Jungle’ (2017). Her small-screen appearances include Amazon Prime’s ‘Picnic at Hanging Rock’, and National Geographic’s ‘Barkskins’.
Directed By Kate Dolan
In a natural and easy-to-understand manner: “SOULM8TE” will be Kate Dolan’s second full-length film, following her successful debut with the spine-tingling Irish folklore thriller “You Are Not My Mother” in 2021. She is also credited as the writer for this upcoming production, which is adapted from an original script by Rafael Jordan.
