Plot Summary

SOULM8TE is an American science fiction erotic thriller directed and co-written by Kate Dolan, based on a story by James Wan, Ingrid Bisu, and Rafael Jordan. The film serves as a spin-off from the M3GAN universe and is produced by Blumhouse Productions and Atomic Monster, with producers Jason Blum and James Wan attached. The story centres on a man who, grieving his recently deceased wife, purchases an AI-powered android designed as a companion. As he works to make the machine feel truly alive, the android becomes dangerously obsessed, transforming what was meant to be solace into a perilous bond. The cast includes Lily Sullivan, David Rysdahl, and Claudia Doumit in key roles, with supporting appearances. Principal photography wrapped by late 2024, and the project was originally slated for a January 2026 release before being pulled from the calendar as the studio looked for a new distribution partner. The film’s theatrical future is currently unsettled, though it remains completed and linked to one of the more talked-about horror-adjacent expansions of recent years. SOULM8TE combines psychological tension with speculative technology themes and will appeal to viewers interested in AI-infused stories that explore human-machine relationships under pressure.
