- The new Universal movie. SOULM8TE will arrive on digital platforms on August 1
- The plot is very similar to the recent horror hit. Obsession
- SOULM8TE is a spin-off of the 2022 film M3GANfocusing on more adult themes
If you haven’t seen Obsession however, it is necessary. It has performed incredibly well at the box office and has become one of the most successful new movies of 2026. I was so impressed by it that I desperately wanted to see a similar thriller next, and SOULM8TE It seems like the perfect choice.
SOULM8TE follows a grieving engineer tasked with testing a ruthless tech giant’s new AI companion, where he programs her to be a sentient soulmate. I’m sure nothing will go wrong there.
Instead of releasing it in theaters, you can watch SOULM8TE at home from August 1st. It will not yet be available on the best streaming services, but you can purchase it on these digital platforms.
Take a look at the trailer below to see what’s in store.

Disturbing romance stories are on the rise
We’ve seen a lot of stories like this in recent months and I’m definitely enjoying the trend of romance with a dark twist.
Buddy is another movie with similar vibes to SOULM8TEas it follows a woman named Iris who discovers that she is actually a companion robot controlled by her boyfriend through her phone.
That lack of autonomy is a scary thing, and audiences definitely have an appetite for these thought-provoking stories focused on relationships, consent, and the rise of technologies like artificial intelligence.
While Obsession It does not present the android aspect, it does explore the horrors of a woman who is not in control of her own actions due to the supernatural intervention of a magical toy. There, someone’s wish becomes a living nightmare.
Yeah SOULM8TE Don’t worry, there are many more horror movies for you to enjoy. Recently, Backrooms I got an extended version that’s in theaters now or you can check out my guide to the best horror movies on streaming services in July.
