“Together”: Dave Franco and Alison Brie Get Horrifyingly Close in Their Creepiest Movie Yet
Horror films have long explored how relationships unravel under pressure, but “Together”—a new body horror film starring real-life couple Dave Franco and Alison Brie—takes that idea to disturbing new heights. Directed by Michael Shanks in his feature debut, the movie blends psychological drama with visceral horror, diving deep into themes of love, codependency, and isolation.
“Together”: The Premise
Franco and Brie play Tim and Millie, a couple who leave city life behind for a secluded countryside escape—only to find their relationship tested by eerie, supernatural forces. What starts as a fresh start turns into a nightmare as their dependency on each other spirals, both emotionally and physically.
As a mysterious force creeps into their lives, it manifests through grotesque transformations and body horror—symbolizing the emotional toll of a codependent relationship. The film uses this to explore how love can blur into suffocation, especially when boundaries disappear.

Having previously worked together on “The Rental” and “Somebody I Used to Know”, this marks their boldest collaboration to date. Their real-life chemistry brings authenticity to the screen, heightening the emotional impact.
“Together” premiered at Sundance to strong reviews, with NEON acquiring it for $17 million. Critics praised its originality and the eerie blend of horror and dark humor. The trailer—set to a haunting cover of “Happy Together”—hints at the psychological tension and twisted visuals to come.
With creepy, creative visuals, strong performances, and a unique spin on body horror, “Together” is more than just a horror flick—it’s a raw, unsettling look at what happens when love goes too far.
Coming July 30, “Together” is one to watch—especially if you’re drawn to horror that lingers long after the credits roll.
