[@Grogeous_Maximus]

I'm about to watch it now, because I need to see what your look on the thumbnail was about lol

[@loganmorningstar9122]

Watched it today. Kinda liked it but kinda didn't. Can't put my finger on why.

[@LLL417]

I loved this movie but revealing one of the twists in promotional material and trailers was baffling. That would have been a great surprise.

[@eauxkei702]

I went into this movie completely blind but of course my friend spoiled the very first plot twist right before the movie started 😒

[@Acid__Gat]

At least they revealed it early on

[@BadwithDates2]

Right! I was so invested into this film with the first trailer but the second trailer ruined the surprise!

[@quinncor]

I kept on thinking that ! Would have been such a genius twist if we didn’t know !

[@LifeIsStrange225]

i went into this film not knowing anything and im really glad i did. Its so common in new films to reveal all of the main twists

[@skcchiefs8928]

The scene when Iris was tied up in the chair after Josh put her to sleep not only elicited empathy from me but definitely some emotion. Iris was so frightened, confused and agitated that one couldn't help but feel real emotion for her. This was the second time I've seen this actress, and suffice to say she was outstanding and clearly elevated an already good film. Sophie Thatcher is quite gifted.

[@LeonAvalos]

Have you seen her in Yellowjackets? Not only is the show amazing, Sophie is too!

[@skcchiefs8928]

@@LeonAvalos No Leon. I don't watch a lot of TV, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised given what I've seen in her two recent films.

[@Crest28]

Rooting for her the entire time. It was terrible what they did to her and you know a movies written Amazingly when you feel genuinely sad for the robot character and not the humans.

[@trinaq]

Sophie Thatcher is certainly a star on the rise. I've been a huge fan of hers since "Yellowjackets", and loved her in "Heretic." She must really be a fan of horror films.

[@michelcomenta]

i can't wait to see her in more horror movies

[@Andreea140294]

Shes great in Boogieman as well!

[@coolshirtkid]

her and mikey madison are two actresses where ive been baffled that it’s taken this long for them to come into greater prominence. so glad they’re finally getting more exposure and recognition

[@_liber777]

I personally find her rather unlikable… 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@coolshirtkid]

@ u might be into men

[@Jake-pz7oi]

The Substance had a great “vibe edit” trailer as well. I second your notion

[@adamliciouss]

And it definitely ended up being successful like Longlegs. People went crazy online talking about how no one would be ready for what the film shows. And that definitely created hype and now it has some Oscar noms. Need trailers to be more like the substance for sure.

[@rachelm7592]

I was also disappointed by the reveal of the twist before I saw the movie, but I loved everything else! I can’t wait to rewatch it soon

[@Batmantherealbatman]

The trailers really revealed way too much. Like i remember asking someone if they wanted to see it and they asked me what it was about, and i (just from having seen the trailers) was like "Oh it's the one where jack quaid has the sex robot that becomes sentient and kills him and escapes and-"

[@W4KEYLAD]

😂😅😂

[@timikaryan3970]

The marketing reminds me of Abigail! The twist revealed in the trailer that she's a vampire is the same as revealing this first act twist. It is baffling

[@leonzaduncan2438]

I actually get Abigail, a lot of people saw it because of the twist give away about her being a ballerina little girl vampire. I get why they did it because they goal is to make money first. It sucks, for those who would've saw it anyways but I get why they felt they had to do it.

[@biduIgi]

thanks... 💀

[@valeriarossini543]

​@@leonzaduncan2438 ngl I forgave abigail because the tagline “children can be such monsters” was so corny but in a fun way

[@ash_leaf]

I'm sooo glad I only saw the teaser, loved it, and avoided all trailers for it! It was such a fun watch not knowing what the twists were

[@charlame.]

omg this was my experience too!! i was so glad the plot twist wasn’t spoiled for me. i was shocked afterwards to know it was in the synopsis! we are one of the lucky ones 😂❤

[@owenowski2558]

The Heretic trailer revealing the candle was upsetting for me, when the reveal in the movie is made to be so impactful

[@danielfoster851]

Completely agreed! That second trailer took away from the twist. It made the first act a bit of a slog, since we were so far ahead.

[@PossessedbyHorror]

Yes exactly! Like the first 20 minutes we already know what’s going to happen and I feel like that takes away from the enjoyment, should have still been a surprise!

[@danielfoster851]

@ Agreed! I am also curious how it will play on rewatches and if it’ll hold up. I feel like this team is really good at opening night screenings but the rewatch value isn’t as successful.

[@rachelm7592]

Really? I was also disappointed but I wouldn’t say it was a slog. I thought the tension between the characters was interesting and the story was entertaining that even though I knew what was up it was still enjoyable to watch

[@johnkistler3467]

Companion was a great movie, but the entire beginning was structured around a plot point that was literally spoiled.... the only thing that saved the trailer scandal was the fact that the film was more focused on entertainment and humor.

[@HorseJoint]

DO NOT WATCH ANYTHING on this film. Go in completely Blind. You’ll get your money’s worth 3:03. YES! Yes. I agree

[@xXx___xXx]

i haven't seen the teaser, trailer, nothing before going to see this movie (my boyfriend chose it) and that made the whole experience so fun! I didn't even know the genre. It was such a nice surprise and a genuinely fun watch

[@tunedelaghetto]

Went into this virtually blind (i forgot i watched the teaser until the final act) and I loved it. I typically avoid follow up trailers and this is an example of why.

[@ariz347]

This is why I don’t watch trailers! The only trailer I saw for this movie was the very first teaser and that’s it. And the first teaser gave me the impression that the plot might be about a woman that’s forced to be a robot and the twist was that she actually was human. So everything was a surprise for me and it was a lot of fun!

[@lalunadesangre1808]

Agreed! Teasers only, no more trailers I'll usually decide if I want to see a movie based on the teaser anyway, if I don't sometimes I'll watch the trailer but it's not often I change my mind on a movie, so they don't really serve a purpose for me.

[@grythely]

i felt like this whole movie was weirdly uninterested in maintaining mystery, even beyond the marketing. like why are we cutting straight from a fight scene to her stumbling back to the house covered in blood? let me at least pretend to go "omg is she gonna make it?? is she gonna kill him?" it was fun but i wish it pushed the tension a bit more!

[@moe-gy5se]

i actually really liked that they cut to her being covered in blood. i think if they just showed the full thing it wouldn’t have hit as much for me, the violence and mystery weren’t the draw to me so much as the emotion behind it. cutting to her covered in blood and then doing flashbacks to the death did a lot more for me emotionally than just immediately watching the action

[@lyssamora]

I never watched a trailer so I was shocked! I loved the movie but I wasn’t scared. I think I was more devastated that men could be so cruel😭

[@skcchiefs8928]

Yes, I feel sort of shame at the level of cruelness and uncaring from that asshole of a main character.

[@kingsleaze3199]

A factor sponsor?! YESSSSS get that bag sarah👏

[@PossessedbyHorror]

Ah thank you!

[@twitchywitchygrrl]

totally agree about the trailer revealing too much! i was bummed when i happened to see the trailer because the teaser was SOOO good, like you said. i still wanted to see it and bring my bf along so i told him not too watch any trailers or look into it at all and he didn’t, so he was able to experience the reveal as intended and he really enjoyed it :-) I’m glad someone was able to go into it blind 😅

[@appy2609]

love your channel and SARAH!! this is a freakin LOOK! killing it sister 💞

[@fueledbyraccoon]

Viewing this fresh out of a relationship with a narcissist, I got quite emotional. It was an incredible film! Terrible marketing for sure lol

[@gloomcookie023]

i wasn't going to see this, but hearing your review changed my mind. from the sounds the only regret would be the wish they pushed it further, i don't mind spoilers, even knowing about the robots, and i forget a lot. i will still seek it out on my own time. + i really agree w the points you made at the beginning of the vid. and, i like today's lewk, to me, very fresh! very youthful! motherhood looks good on you!

[@thebrentrobinsonshow2882]

I was excited for this movie, but it was a disappointment.

[@Ricardodiaz17762]

I almost went in blind. I avoided all the trailers. I saw the teaser I think with the hand over the candle. From that I thought the movie was about a guy hypnotizing this girl. Then a day before I saw the movie, I saw a YT video on box office reports that ruined the "twist". Fortunately, it's a good movie that didn't need the "twist" to make or break the movie.

[@barboralitvanova5111]

I didn’t see anything but the teaser so I didn’t know the twist. When I found out in the movie I almost walked out because I thought it will be a lit more mature psychological thriller and I was annoyed as hell. So I actually think they were smart with the marketing because this concept is difficult to not know about and then try to take seriously.

[@tristanmovies8629]

also 100% agree regarding the light handed themes, that’s what i talked about in my letterboxd review! the message is interesting but part of me wishes they dug deeper into it and focused on the concept of men being an oppressive conglomerate constantly seeking control. what we get is a step in that direction but it still ultimately tries to distinguish between the good men™️ and the bad men™️, a distinction a female filmmaker probably wouldn’t feel the need to make. so, yes, it’s a feminist film… i just personally wish they were more radical with those themes!

[@bookshelfhoney]

Oh I've never heard of this movie, somehow I didn't see any trailers or anything. I hate when trailers give away the twists or most of the plot/story arc that's so irritating.

[@jarekgunther]

Wait, there was a reveal in the trailers? ...thank God, I stayed away from the Internet!

[@LeonAvalos]

I tried to stay away from trailers but I got spoilers anyway over on social media (especially my local cinema's instagran account 😂🥲)

[@Dodgerguy79]

It was a very fun movie, I really enjoyed it. Plus seeing Josh get what he deserved especially in the way that he did was great.

[@bryancarter3529]

You didn’t cry for Jack Quaid’s character at the end?..😂😂💯💯

[@robertegblack]

I love the line about the day she met him and the day she killed him, but I hate when voiceover is basically a sentence at the beginning and a sentence at the end

[@lamikiminach9503]

A plot hole that kinda got me is why didn’t he just reset Iris to factory settings the second time he caught her??? Like didn’t u learn ur lesson the first time 😭

[@marianagonzalez292]

probably because he was insufferable hahahahaha wanted to have things under control and rub that in her face. i think is part of his stupid incel persona

[@tristanmovies8629]

damien leone recently said that growing up, horror movies were strictly for entertainment purposes and didn’t promote any “political agendas.” i’m not sure if this video would be controversial or not, but perhaps you could talk about some of your favorite horror movies that are a reflection of political tensions at that time? i think of invasion of the body snatchers, black christmas, candyman, get out, etc

[@youtubesupportsfascism]

A white male saying that sure does make a lot of sense when you realize how much that group loves committing violent crimes, but not being held accountable for their violent choices.

[@sunfastrose]

I’d love to see an interview with someone who puts together movie trailers. I’d want to know who has control over what goes in the trailers and their thought process around the choices. The complaints of seeing too much in the marketing are nothing new, so there must be something we don’t know that guides the marketing decisions.

[@simontheewok]

Fantastic movie and a perfect example of why I try to avoid trailers like the plague. Glad I didn't watch the second one.

[@umily159]

i’ve missed ur rants WOOHOO

[@tenimeartstudios]

When KZbinrs say a movie is "predictable," it makes me feel stupid when I *don't* predict them.

[@gregg3744]

I enjoyed it but it was VERY basic. Didn’t have much of an edge. I don’t know why this and Barbarian are viewed as “twisted”

[@tyfraserweeks9216]

I watch all your reviews. I’m impressed how deep you’re able to go with zero spoilers

[@endimyongms6901]

Oh man I was lucky enough to go into it completely blind and loved it. I didn't realize how much was revealed.

[@thePowerPlant]

For 2024, which did you prefer Cuckoo or Long Legs??

[@biguy617]

I wish directors had control of what goes in a trailer and what doesn’t.

[@AraSozir]

I read it less as her changing her appearance BECAUSE of what she’s been through and more her changing because she can finally discover who she is. She looks more like Kat now and that’s the person that she admired.

[@shanecarlmontefalcon]

I actually have to disagree. I loved how the trailer and the poster gives out the “twist” because the film showcases that it doesn’t depend on the twists and surprises but how they crafted and presented the film in entirety. The Rotten Tomato consensus perfectly pins what I really love about this: “A fiendishly clever contraption that doesn't rest on the laurels of its twists” because it has more to offer than just its twists.

[@trynateenatai777]

I have to agree. & I must be the only one but I don’t think spoiling the twist in the trailer ruined the movie for me at all. I was still very surprised at the way they presented what Iris really is & what the actual twist was. I still had a really good time with the way it all panned out.

[@meredithsantos8264]

omgg please do a video talking about yellowjackets!!! would loveee to hear your thoughts about it!!

[@emilywarner7771]

I personally have a soft spot for dark comedies, and really enjoy both Sophie and Jack in their previous works, so I was very concerned that this was being released in January. Your review has renewed my hope!

[@amandalamb2347]

I went to see this while my kiddos went to see Dog Man, and I had a blast. I hadn't seen a lot of trailers, but I was totally spoiled by a Booktuber who compared it to Annie Bot. I still enjoyed the movie so much.

[@BleuResureccion]

No trailer was more egregious than Presence. That was utterly FOUL!!

[@betinababbles249]

This is such a fun movie I went with my husband and I 100% agree the promotional material was giving away too much, even the poster gave it away! it was predictable very popcorn fun dark comedy vibe like it’s not really supposed a tense gory horror which I can appreciate. Although some scenes really did get me specially with like the later fight scenes.

[@michellehalemassacre]

It truly was funny. I was glad to only have my mom with me and then two other people in the theater. We didn't notice them so talked a bit and laughed but they didn't say anything. I loved the running through the woods, the bottle opener and slamming his hand in the door.

[@robk.6591]

I was disappointed by learning the big spoiler from the trailer and plot description. But I still had a lot of fun with it. Kind of reminded me of Ready or Not with the cat and mouse plot. Sophie Thatcher is killing it with this and Hetetic. *Spoilers* Edit: I loved the scene where Josh re-programs Patrick's "brain" with memories of Josh. The ending was awesome!

[@DR_DOOM_3298]

Agree on the trailers & poster. I saw the teaser & was like, some kind of horror, Sophie Thatcher, I'm in. Then I unfortunately saw the full trailer at Wolfman & was like WTF! Whoever decided that it's good marketing to have your first act reveal spoiled in the poster and trailer should be fired. While not a masterpiece, I enjoyed the movie & thought its themes had more in common with ExMachina & Blade Runner than the typical "abusive relationship" tropes that are so common these days. I liked that you could have switched the roles of Josh and Iris around, or made them both of the same "sex" and it wouldn't change the plot at all. It's more about what is it to be human & when does a machine deserves to be treated humanely, than the typical relationship power dynamic.

[@noelkempster]

I think its similarity to Ex Machina made it lack punch for me because the ending of Ex Machina is so good and horrifying (the concept at least) and the ending here with her in the car was kind of cheesy in my opinion. But I agree that it was a fun movie and it was much funnier than I’d expected!

[@DR_DOOM_3298]

@@noelkempster It's definitely a less high-minded approach to the theme as compared to ExMachina & Blade Runner, but it still had me thinking as we barrel ahead with AI how "lifelike" dose a machine have to be before it's no longer ethical to treat it as just a thing.

[@noelkempster]

@ oh I absolutely agree I think the concept was solid, I just found the execution to be lacking a bit more than I had been hoping for. Maybe I just was upset with how predictable I found the plot beats and I kept hoping for something to really wow me like Ex Machina. But it’s definitely a great and pretty relevant concept as we are much closer to this kind of thing than we were when those other films came out.

[@youtubesupportsfascism]

@@DR_DOOM_3298 Males haven't figured out how to treat women like they aren't just things.

[@merlinho0t]

I’ll never understand why they revealed one of the twists in the trailer. Honestly they should have just released that first teaser and that be that. I already was planning on seeing it after that one.

[@societycrumbles]

I figured out the twist of who Iris is from just the original short teaser, but I still hated that they blatantly spoiled it in the trailer, I think I will fully stop watching those now.

[@FantasyYeet]

Shes a robot and she comes back to "life" and finishes the job....okurrhhhh. Awesome movie!

[@Momogizibo]

I agree with you about the ending but I also hated the ending as a whole. The solution (trying to avoid spoilers) to her issue of being reset felt like a quick cop out. The other robots ending… quick cop out The ending just felt rushed and “oh we’ve hit an hour, time to end it”

[@marcecwrites]

I went into this movie blind of all the trailers and had a fun time. The ending even was okay for me, if they’re setting it up for a sequel I would totally watch it!

[@emilymarshman1261]

I really would have loved if they had released different trailers (esp ones where we don't know the spoiler) but I do wonder if they had the trailer cut to not reveal the spoiler/essentially main premise of the movie and then perhaps screened it to early audiences who might have felt like excluding that from marketing would make people feel "tricked" or if there were worries about us going into it without that information...again, I personally would have preferred it without the spoiler, but that's something I've been thinking about!

[@HECTORMONTALVO-le9cn]

Good review and cool video Sarah!👍

[@TheRICKY85]

Just from the teaser, I was actually excited for it, which was a first for a while. Seeing the second trailer before watching another movie, spoiled it and I don't think I enjoyed it as much. Although, I think there were some plot holes as well.

[@Dontannoyme34894]

What made barbarian so great was all the reveals so I don’t get why companion didn’t do the same

[@Edowin-jz2sj]

I was lucky to be warned well in advance to go in completely blind and avoid any info, but a Horror newsletter did spoil one minor element, though not the main plot reveal(s). I really enjoyed it.

[@coolshirtkid]

i’m really annoyed I went out of my way to avoid all marketing and trailers for this movie after seeing the first teaser which was great, and I was able to avoid all spoilers until a random podcast I watch that doesn’t even typically talk about horror randomly mentioned they were going to watch companion and spoiled the first “twist” of the film for me 😭 really bummed me out that I couldn’t go into it completely blind

[@waterbearer4627]

This movie did nail it with the engagement of the story, the thrills and the humor. I hope word of mouth makes this a huge success and Sophie an A list star, she was excellent!

[@Momogizibo]

Jack quad plays the same character he always does… which no complaints because I love the character he plays 😂

[@schwolmart]

If I think I'll watch a movie, I won't watch a trailer. I often watch them after the movie and get annoyed at how much was spoiled.

[@Amanda-ik1wv]

All I saw was Barbarian on the movie poster and I knew nothing else... saw 15 seconds of Stuckmann saying the perfect person to see this is someone who has no idea about anything, so that's what I did, and I loved it! I don't mind the lack of gore and horror, or the ending (actually kind of refreshing even). It was just highly entertaining.

[@monkeymassacre1]

would LOVE to hear your opinion on yellowjackets!!! one of my favorite shows rn

[@jackthestripper-r4w]

you look beautiful with your hair up!!

[@adumbcrush]

The teaser's so terrific that I have no idea why anybody complained about needing more information. But the trailer could have just insinuated that the film's about a murder that happens at a vacation house.

[@dacianavanprice]

Drinking Pukka Love Tea and eating a... something or other Crumbl cookie, perfect timing!

[@ThroughTheHorrorLens]

You're completely right. Teasers are the way to go. I was so intrigued when I saw the teaser. Then I saw the trailer and it gives away the premise of the movie. I couldn't help but feel I was robbed of such a great reveal having seen the trailer before hand. But otherwise loved Companion.

[@beautyandthebar4071]

I so badly wish I could have gone into thus movie blind. I bet the first reveal would’ve been great

[@basicindiebro]

Going into this knowing completely nothing made my experience a lot better.

[@zeynepgulsu1899]

son sahnede eline bakıp robot olmasıyla barışması güzeldi, orada yaşananlarin izine bakmıyordu, kendinin bilmediği bir yanını tanıyor ve kendini seviyordu. o robot haliyle fazla hayatta kalamaz, üretici firmanın onu arayacağı kesin, bence devamını yapsınlar bu filmin. mutsuz sonu, yani robotun ölmesini tercih ederdim, ama tabi josh'ın da ölmesi ile.

[@honeypoppyprincess]

I love teaser trailers but I try avoiding trailers at all costs.. I love the Meg 2.0 teaser..

[@Welovehorrormovies]

So glad I didn't watch the trailer! So good, except why did they try and paint the other guy who also got a companion as being "good" while the main protagonist is portrayed as bad. That made zero sense.

[@alkemistes]

totally agree with the trailer/marketing take, but tbf with this one I can see why. First time I saw this movie, I was like .. oh another ""friends go to weekend getaway and things get bad"".. and I felt I had no interest in the movie. It was only when I saw what it was about that I felt like, ok I would go watch this movie actually.

[@aaronjoshuaa]

I absolutely loved this movie and took 2 of my friends who aren't usually into horror to see it and they enjoyed it too! I was worried at first because there's been quite a few attempts at this trope in recent years but this movie honestly did it perfectly imo. I managed to avoid most of the trailers but still knew about the first twist, however.... SPOILERS BELOW I was genuinely surprised by the reveal that Patrick was also a robot, I heard a few gasps in the theatre too when it was revealed. I think I was so focused on waiting for the reveal about Iris that I didn't even pay attention to any strange ways Patrick was acting initially. I also agree that the death scenes were mostly unexpected which I thought was great as you assume most of them will end up dead somehow but having it come out of nowhere still adds that surprise element to it.

[@marzkell]

if they'd just left the trailer at the initial ones, where they didn't reveal anything and had you wondering if Iris is human or not rather than just flat out revealing it in the trailer...i would've given it 5/5 stars but it lost half for having bad marketing

[@RyzeandFall]

I agree to an extent mainly for this movie. When I saw the teaser I honestly did not want to see it cause I was eh whatever. Then when you see the 2nd trailer when they reveal the truth about Iris and I was way more interested in seeing it and actually got me to see the movie

[@krm98]

I thought I’d seen the actual trailer, but it must have only been the teaser. I was very nicely surprised by the twist (for once) and enjoyed that it was revealed early on. Companion & Abigail are both movies that should not have revealed the “twists” in the trailer 😐

[@TheLegendaryMovieCritic]

Sophie Thatcher is so incredible in Companion!

[@justafractionoftime1984]

I was very upset at the trailer spoiling the “twist”, but the twist being revealed so early softened the blow for me. I won’t forgive the Abigail marketing though. The twist came around almost an hour into the movie. While it did have an interesting effect on my viewing experience (knowing that she was a vampire the whole time), I was grossly disappointed in the marketing. I’ll forgive Companion mainly because the twist certainly wasn’t the biggest one in the movie and it was so enjoyable overall.

[@luchia21100]

I saw only 2 seconds of the first teaser and then the movie synopsis on the fucking theater website gave away the twist to me. So pissed about that since I'd avoided it entirely besides that

[@Tim--99]

I literally bring ear plugs to the movies now so during trailers for films I know I want to see put them in and I shut my eyes and completely avoid them. I saw Heart Eyes (fun time) last night and did this during the previews for Cap America and The Monkey. Sophie Turner is now the reigning Scream Queen over Anna-Taylor Joy and Jenna Ortega to me. Love your channel!

[@ericmwanza99]

Sophie thatcher was the stand out in that movie including jack Quaid charismatic character

[@SocialScienceofSci-Fi]

I loved this movie! I went in totally blind and am so glad for it. I can’t believe the spoil the twist in the trailer, why would they do that?!

[@desertpinevintage]

Why do the marketing teams NOT listen to the public about them giving away the movies! It’s SO frustrating !

[@Eclipses915]

[@cschweitzy]

I loved it and I’m so happy I watched it without swinging any previews

[@KatyaOrlova-jp1gy]

My opinion on trailers is that only footage from the first act should be fair game. It might even help filmmakers rethink their storytelling because most first acts are mind-numbingly dull and unnecessary-you could start from the second and lose almost nothing.

[@Horrorzeit]

Got spoilered by the trailer and I thought everything was way too simple and didn‘t have anything to say.
