Humanity Fights Dark Entities And Each Other This September In ‘Companion’

Humanity fights to survive both evil entities and each other in writer-director John Darbonne‘s (The Cottages) indie horror Companion, out on Demand this September. “In 2030, society fell as malicious entities appeared around the world. The survivors must fight each other and the dead. Across this brutal landscape, Ella Grace’s burden of guilt is exposed. The past, and the horrors of what she will become, force Ella to kill what she loves in order to discover the terrifying meaning of the ghosts that feed on her fear.” The cast includes Russell Shealy (Showtime’s “The Good Lord Bird”, The Farmhand, Surrender Me), Eric Hanson (The Challenger Disaster, No Ordinary Love, Brady’s Lot), Christine Nguyen (Vigilante Diaries, Attack of the Killer Donuts, Get Him to the Greek), Stephen Brodie (“Fear the Walking Dead”), Anna Flynn (Persuasion), Cody Renee Cameron (El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie), and Marcus Anthony.

Movie Review (Warped Dimension): Companion

Writer/director John Darbonne has created a new type of supernatural entity, one that doesn’t let the humans it encounters know of clear rules involving it. This leads to mystery and confusion for both the characters in Companion and, to some extent, viewers, as well. Mind games, duplicity, and deceit rule the world of this film, which has a decidedly grim edge to it. Gus (Marcus Anthony) and Ella (Anna Flynn) Grace are a married couple who viewers meet three years after a war and in the throes of an apocalypse. Since that time, entities called companions have inhabited the world, seeking out those who show fear. Companions look like some other-dimensional cross between the dead from Carnival of Souls and zombies. The Preacher (Eric Hanson) and two sidekicks burst onto the scene, gravely injuring Gus and brutalizing Ella. Just as quickly as the villainous trio showed up, Abner (Russell Shealy) arrives, and he has reasons to hunt down The Preacher.
