Sophie Thatcher has been a reliable genre actor since her breakout role in Yellowjackets. In the years since, she’s shown up in various horror and science fiction shows and movies, typically elevating them with her cool demeanor and sardonic tone. Next up, she plays a starring role in Heretic, an A24 horror movie also featuring Hugh Grant and Chloe East, but looking slightly further ahead, she’s also appearing in the mysterious new thriller Companion.
Little is known about Companion, even after its trailer debuted on October 2, so when I got the chance to interview Thatcher about Heretic, I couldn’t help but ask for a hint from this upcoming film. Her answer only makes the movie that much more intriguing.
