Not every AI-based narrative is the same, and Companionis here to prove it. Full of twists and plenty of gruesome violence, the deranged thriller is coming to the small screen this spring after an impressive box office run. The movie stars Sophie Thatcher, Jack Quaid, Lukas Gage, Megan Suri, Harvey Guillén, and Rupert Friend. As our reviewer said before its release, Companion"takes its riveting premise into a rich terrain of twisted turns embedded with smart and sick humor," turning it more into a dark comedy than your typical thriller.

If you missed Companion in theaters, we have good news: You can start streaming the sci-fi thriller at home beginning April 18 on Max. Here's everything you need to know about how to watch Companion.

What is Companionabout?

Written and directed by Drew Hancock, Companionfollows a small group of friends on a weekend getaway at a remote cabin in the woods. However, one of them is not what they appear to be — Iris is actually a companion robot who becomes aware of her reality, seeking revenge and quickly turning the weekend into a bloody mess. "But if you think Companion is going to go the way of M3GAN or AfrAId, you're in for a slew of slick surprises," Mashable's reviewer notes.

Is Companionworth watching?

The Sophie Thatcher-led thriller took home an impressive $36.7 million at the worldwide box office when it released in theaters back in January. What's more impressive is it managed to win over audiences — which isn't always the case with box office hits. It nabbed a 94 percent critic rating and 89 percent audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Mashable's own reviewer, film editor Kristy Puchko, called it "a rollicking thrill ride that's as spiked with surprises and gore as it is sharp punchlines."

"Aside from the delicious twists that lead to a string of gruesome yet amusing murders, Companion also boasts an ensemble cast that expertly keeps things light and fun amid the horrors," Puchko wrote. "Altogether, they create a compelling, funny, and fierce thriller that's a deranged delight."
