The movie titled “Companion” blends elements from the horror genre while offering a fresh perspective on the concept of dating in the future. The protagonist, Josh, is involved with a robot named Iris who is unaware of her true nature. After an idyllic getaway in the woods, events take a turn for the worse and this romantic tale transforms into a chilling horror ordeal.
Movie enthusiasts who enjoy horror flicks seek out two main elements: thrills and gruesome deaths. Although Companion may not boast the most extreme killings recently, such as those in Abigail or Smile 2, it certainly has its share of impactful ones. Here’s a rundown of some of the most noteworthy deaths, listed according to their level of gruesomeness (with spoilers).
WARNING! Spoilers ahead!
6. Kat
Knife To The Back
In the film, it’s clear that Kat experiences one of the most agonizing and shocking deaths. After enduring numerous fatalities, including a police officer, Kat has reached her limit with Josh. Determined to secure her fair share of the money and flee before the situation deteriorates any further, she decides to leave town.
In a playful manner, Kat tells Josh that she’s not a puppet he can manipulate. Regrettably, Josh does have command over Patrick, another robot, who harbors deadly aggression. It seems that Aaa misunderstood “stop her” as an instruction to attack Kat, and the audience is left to infer that Kat suffered a fatal wound from being stabbed.
5. Sid
Surprise Bullets
Near the movie’s conclusion, two technical specialists from Companion, named Sid and Teddy, arrive to listen to Josh’s findings. They also intended to retrieve Iris for a reboot at the lab, to understand the true sequence of events. Unbeknownst to Josh, the hard drive was located within Iris’ torso and could still be retrieved.
Under pressure due to his questionable choices, Josh dispatches Patrick to handle the technical team outside. Just as the technicians are preparing to depart, they come across Patrick, dressed oddly as Officer Hendrix, standing ominously in the driveway and fatally shooting Sid with a firearm. This ordinary death scene in a horror movie is followed by an exhilarating chase sequence. In comparison, Eli receives a less severe gunshot wound to the torso.
4. Sergey
Rocked And Knifed
1. In the movie, Sergey is the initial character who meets an untimely end. By the time the credits roll, this sets off a series of events. From the start, Sergey isn’t exactly a charming or likable individual, and there are hints that he has connections to the mafia. This makes his advance towards Iris less shocking.
2. In the movie, Sergey is the first character who dies, triggering a chain of events leading up to the end credits. From the very beginning, Sergey isn’t particularly likable and it seems he’s connected with the mafia. So, when he tries to make a move on Iris, it doesn’t come as much of a surprise.
3. In the film, Sergey is the first character who gets killed off, leading to a series of events that unfold by the end credits. From the get-go, Sergey isn’t exactly a pleasant or admirable person, and there are suggestions he’s involved with the mafia. Given this, it’s not too unexpected when he tries to make a pass at Iris.
4. In the movie, Sergey is the first character who bites the dust, which sets off a chain of events culminating in the end credits. From the outset, Sergey isn’t really someone you’d want to root for and it appears he has ties to the mafia. Consequently, his attempts to woo Iris are not all that surprising.
5. In the movie, Sergey is the first character who meets a violent end, leading to an intricate sequence of events as we approach the closing credits. From the opening scene, Sergey isn’t exactly someone you’d want to invite over for dinner and it seems he has some shady connections with the mafia. Thus, when he tries to make his move on Iris, it doesn’t come off as a complete shocker.
In their struggle, Sergey ends up falling to the ground and hitting his head on a stone, causing him to bleed profusely from a gash in his skull. In retaliation, he attempts to choke Iris, but she quickly retrieves her knife and plunges it into Sergey’s neck. The amount of blood that spills out is reminiscent of a scene straight out of the latest version of Carrie, drenching Iris as if she had just stepped off the movie set.
3. Patrick
Taser To The Mouth
As I watched the trailers for “Companion,” it seemed like they had revealed everything about Iris being a robot. However, I soon realized that this was just the beginning, as there are many more twists and turns yet to come for viewers. One of these surprises unfolds not long after Sergey’s death when Eli discloses that his boyfriend, Patrick, is also a robot.
Contrary to Iris, it’s later discovered that Patrick confides in Eli that he’s actually a robot. There appears to be a deep emotional bond between them, and despite Josh erasing his data, Iris assists Patrick in recalling his feelings for Eli. Overwhelmed by Eli’s departure, Patrick chooses to take his own life using an electric shock to his mouth. Although no blood is shed, the concept is still enough to make one feel queasy.
2. Josh
Wine Opener
In some horror films, excessive foreshadowing can detract from the suspense. However, in the film “Companion“, the wine opener is cleverly used to hint at a character’s impending doom – none other than Josh. Among all the antagonistic characters in the movie, his demise is particularly gruesome and fitting.
He portrays himself as an upstanding individual, but by the end, it’s evident that he’s far from being a good guy. When he believes he has the advantage over Iris, she catches him off guard with a wine opener to the head. Josh’s mind goes blank, and he falls just as he did earlier with Iris after their brief encounter.
1. Officer Hendrix
Punched To A Bloody Pulp
In this captivating sequence, skillfully orchestrated with a blend of tension and humor, I find myself in the role of an observer. Having escaped from Josh’s vehicle, Iris encounters a law enforcement officer. Faced with the challenge of truthfulness, she employs an ingenious tactic: translating her responses into German using an application on Josh’s phone.
In another version, the individual admits to several killings, but Officer Hendrix is perplexed about the situation. Meanwhile, spectators notice Patrick gradually approaching and Iris appears terrified. She realizes she’s found herself in a scenario reminiscent of a Terminator film. Upon Patrick’s arrival, he brutally beats Officer Hendrix, leaving his face a gruesome mess.
