IMPORTANT!
The best way by far to watch this movie is to pretty much go in totally blind. I managed to avoid any spoilers and had not watched the trailer only really knowing the basic plot of a cabin near the lake, a billionair and a murder that happens. Aside from this I knew a vague reference to black mirror and that it got a 7.4+ on imdb from the early reviewers which is quite hight for a movie like this. All of this sounded good to me and I had quite high hopes which were fully met mainly because I did not know anything and some twists came as a surprise. So if this sounds like something you would like, by all means go in blind as it will make this movie so much better!
Companion (7.8/10)
Spoiler-Free Movie Plot:
"Iris and her friends go to a billionaire's estate on a lake for the weekend. The billionaire dies. This death sets off a chain reaction that also has consequences for the group of friends."
So the movie started kind of slow in the 1st 15 minutes but around minute 20 I would say an event happens and a twist comes which I didn't see coming as I had not watched the trailer which kind of kickstarted the rest of the movie which stayed interesting until the end. That twist was that the girlfriend was actually a robot which is where the entire black mirror vibe of the movie comes into play.
Sometimes you just need a movie like this and I saw it at a good time without knowing anything about it. I had a blast just watching this one as it stayed interesting from the start until the end without being too long. The performances were also good and even though it by no means is the best movie, I still gladly rate it a solid 7.8/10 despite quite high expectations which were fully met.
