Companion is an upcoming horror film that’s from ‘the studio that brought you The Notebook, and the creators of Barbarian.’. This tagline effectively sums up this romantic-horror which combines the best tropes of the genres. Starring Heretic actor Sophie Thatcher, 24, as Iris and Jack, 32, as Josh, the film focuses on a toxic relationship between a couple as they take a romantic trip to a remote cabin in the woods.

As it’s a horror, blood and violence are to be expected, which has become Jack’s bread and butter after starring in the notoriously graphic series The Boys. In an interview with Metro, Jack revealed that his stint in the hyperviolent Amazon TV series did not desensitise him to gore as he revealed a stunt on set that really sent shivers down his spine.

‘It hasn’t desensitised me to that, because The Boys is hyper-violent in a way that’s like, almost unrealistic,’ the actor said from a Zoom call in the US. He reveals that the scene that caused him to freak out was ‘nothing’. ‘There was this one scene that we were shooting – it’s in the trailer – it’s nothing. My hand gets a car door closed on it.
