Coming Attractions- Companion

 

Director- Drew Hancock

Cast- Sophie Thatcher, Rupert Friend, Megan Suri, Jack Quaid, Harvey Guillen, Lukas Gage

Release Date- January 31, 2025

Truly a completely bonkers trailer that shows a lot, but there’s still some unanswered questions to think about. You can tell there’s A LOT more to the story than the usual “robot gains self-awareness and humanity, and bad things happen” storyline.

Companion shows signs of being a well-rounded film. Bloody violence, Sophie Thatcher is great in the trailer, and a few hilarious moments. High hopes for this one, easily one of my top must-see picks this year.

Coming Attractions- Heretic (2024)

 

Directors- Scott Beck, Bryan Woods

Cast- Hugh Grant, Sophie Thatcher, Chloe East

Release Date- November 15, 2024

No sightings of demons, monsters, or any other supernatural events? No teases for exorcisms? Surprising for a horror movie that’s centered around religion. If I had to guess, they’re going with the idea that Hugh Grant IS the monster, someone who deviously wants to test the limits of Sister Barnes and Sister Paxton’s faiths and their beliefs in a higher power. Is it possible he’s a satanist? That, or he’s just some creepy and lonely guy, possibly a serial killer, who lives out in the middle of nowhere. 

Heretic’s trailer is intriguing and eerie, showcasing a tense and life threatening game of cat and mouse, and the reveal for the blueberry pie candle was excellent.
