"I know it's going to sound cheesy, but from the moment we locked eyes there was a spark". (Iris explains to  Josh how she felt at their first meeting).

WINNER: Directors to Watch (Drew Hancock) Palm Springs Int FF. (2025).

Is COMPANION (C) a better entertainment experience when seen unincumbered by watching trailers and reading reviews? For me, the answer is a wholehearted, yes. C is an ocean of refreshing ideas soaked in blood!

No spoilers here. Perhaps you are a lover of thrillers with lashings of horror - so long as they present new and exhilarating ideas which both surprise and shock. If so, then, COMPANION, is for you. Sophie Thatcher's Iris will captivate you into believing she is something she is not. Her perfect boyfriend, Josh (Jack Quaid) and his supportive friends will have you thinking, how can this vanilla drama amount to anything? You will find you couldn't have been more wrong. Read no further, go see it!

Drew Hancock usually writes and directs middle of the road T.V. fiction (SUBURGATORY). This is his feature debut. I'll be looking out for more of his big screen creations. Universal are loving C.  10GUMS.
