Watch: 'Companion' teaser introduces sci-fi horror from 'Barbarian' team

Oct. 2 (UPI) -- Warner Bros. Pictures is giving a glimpse of the new film Companion .

The studio shared a teaser trailer for the movie Wednesday featuring Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid.

Companion invites viewers "to experience a new kind of love story."

The teaser shows Thatcher and Quaid's characters sitting down for what appears to be a romantic meal, until the camera pans out and shows Thatcher is handcuffed to her chair.

The teaser ends with Quaid pushing a candle under the outstretched hand of Thatcher, whose eyes fill with horror as she is set ablaze.
