One of the hot horror movies of the summer is director Michael Shanks’ body horror movie Together, which stars real life couple Alison Brie and Dave Franco as a stagnating couple dealing with co-dependency issues of the Lovecraftian kind. It’s coming to theaters July 30 from NEON, and a new TV spot this week offers up some fresh footage of their nightmare.
Watch the new teaser spot for Together below.
The film is currently 100% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with 48 reviews logged at this time.
In Together, “Years into their relationship, Tim and Millie find themselves at a crossroads as they move to the country, abandoning all that is familiar in their lives except each other.
“With tensions already flaring, a nightmarish encounter with a mysterious, unnatural foe threatens to corrupt their lives, their love, and their flesh.”
Writer-director Michael Shanks makes his feature debut on the movie, which features Damon Herriman, Sunny S. Walia, Jack Kenny, and Mia Morrissey alongside Franco and Brie.
Meagan Navarro wrote in her review out of Sundance, “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.”
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.”
Just how Lovecraftian will this one get? Together has been rated “R” for “.”
