Question for anyone who's seen the new film Companion.

Have you also seen Ready or Not (the one with Samara Weaving)?

How does Companion compare to Ready or Not from a violence and gore perspective? Is Companion similar in that it's a dark comedy with cartoon gore, or is it more towards the slasher horror end of the genre?

A quotation from Mary Shelley

But I now indulge in dreams of bliss that cannot be realized. What I ask of you is reasonable and moderate; I demand a creature of another sex, but as hideous as myself: the gratification is small, but it is all that I can receive, and it shall content me. It is true, we shall be monsters, cut off from all the world; but on that account we shall be more attached to one another. Our lives will not be happy, but they will be harmless, and free from the misery I now feel. Oh! my creator, make me happy; let me feel gratitude towards you for one benefit! Let me see that I excite the sympathy of some existing thing; do not deny me my request!
