Back in 2022, one of the most popular horror movies of the year was M3GAN, the AI cyber thriller starring Allison Williams as Gemma, Violet McGraw as Cady, and Ami Donald as the titular android. The film was a massive hit, grossing over $180 million at the box office against a modest $12 million budget, which was enough to make it one of the most profitable films of the entire year. Just three years later, Blumhouse tried to recapture the M3GAN magic by bringing back the android for M3GAN 2.0, but things didn’t exactly go according to plan, even if it wasn’t a total disaster. The film grossed $39 million at the box office against a $25 million budget, but it did go on to become one of the most-watched movies on Netflix upon its premiere.
Blumhouse officially returned to the world of evil androids earlier this year with Soulm8te, which arrived on digital platforms over the summer on August 1. The movie was originally going to be released in theaters earlier in the year, but the studio changed its mind and decided to save it for a fully digital premiere later in the year. The film has been available to rent or purchase on VOD platforms like Prime Video for almost two months now, but it’s finally set to arrive on streaming soon. Blumhouse announced not long ago that Soulm8te is officially set to begin streaming on Hulu on October 1, and to help promote the new streaming announcement, Collider is thrilled to partner with the studio to exclusively preview a deliciously twisted sneak peek from Soulm8te, which can be found below.
