Companion

Original sci-fi thriller with no established characters to swap.

(spoiler) The female robot protagonist turns on her abusive controlling boyfriend, but this is a horror revenge arc driven by plot rather than an explicit 'men are the problem' message.

• Iris breaks free from Josh's control and turns the tables on him
• Josh is written as a manipulative loser exploiting the companion robot

Features a gay supporting couple as part of the friend group, present but not the central focus.

• A same-sex couple among the weekend guests

Modestly diverse contemporary cast that fits the present-day setting without contradicting any lore.

Themes of consent, control, and autonomy are woven into the genre premise rather than delivered as sermons.

• The companion robot's lack of agency mirrors themes of control in relationships

The male antagonist embodies controlling, entitled behavior, giving a mild toxic-masculinity undertone, but it serves the thriller plot rather than a broad message about men.

• Josh treats Iris as property and feels entitled to her obedience

Original screenplay with no source material to betray.
