NEON looks to continue their horror hot streak at the box office this summer with Together, a body horror nightmare that earned raved reviews out of Sundance earlier this year.
Just how Lovecraftian will this one get? Together has been rated “R” for “violent/disturbing content, sexual content, graphic nudity, language and brief drug content.”
NEON will release Together in theaters everywhere on August 1, 2025. The upcoming movie from director Michael Shanks is said to “put a meta spin on the body horror film.”
Real-life spouses Alison Brie and Dave Franco star.
Together follows a codependent couple that moves to the remote countryside to become even closer. And they do, on a nightmarish physical level, thanks to a supernatural force.
Meagan Navarro reviewed Together for Bloody Disgusting out of Sundance.
“Alison Brie and Dave Franco star as a stagnating couple who find themselves dealing with codependency issues of the Lovecraftian kind,” Meagan details. “Its unique blend of awkward romantic dramedy and cosmic body horror yields no shortage of crowd-pleasing moments and horror freakouts that left the rowdy Sundance audience laughing and screaming in equal measure. Shanks’s debut keeps the horror simple and unsubtle as it ramps up the insanity.”
Meagan’s review continues, “Framing a romantic dramedy, complete with cringe humor and a Spice Girls needle drop, through a Lovecraftian body horror lens yields more than enough fun to forgive its underserved elements. It’s the type of zany crowd-pleaser that delivers on its premise with an unhinged sense of humor and heart.”
