Together

If you're into love stories that take a seriously weird and wild turn, Together might just be your next favorite movie night pick. Directed by Michael Shanks in his feature debut, this 2025 supernatural body horror flick stars real-life couple Dave Franco and Alison Brie as Tim and Millie, a pair whose move to the countryside kicks off a bizarre and unsettling transformation—both emotionally and physically.

What starts as a strained relationship between two people dealing with grief and uncertainty quickly spirals into something much more surreal. After a mysterious encounter in a cave, the couple begins to experience horrifying changes in their bodies, forcing them to confront not only their feelings for each other but also the terrifying possibility of literally becoming one. Yes, you read that right—this is a love story with a heavy dose of body horror, complete with fused limbs, shared skin, and some seriously gnarly visuals.

The film leans into its genre with gusto, blending emotional intimacy with grotesque physical transformation. It’s not just about the scares or the gore (though there’s plenty of that); it’s also about the messy, painful, and sometimes beautiful process of connection. The chemistry between Brie and Franco adds a layer of authenticity that makes the emotional beats hit harder, even as things get increasingly bizarre.

Together isn’t for everyone. If you’re squeamish or not a fan of horror that gets under your skin—literally—this might be a tough watch. But for fans of genre-bending films that mix romance, horror, and a touch of dark humor, it’s a unique and memorable ride. Critics have largely praised it, especially for its originality and the performances of its leads, though some viewers found the relationship drama a bit slow compared to the horror elements.

With a runtime of 102 minutes, a haunting score by Cornel Wilczek, and standout practical and digital effects, Together is a bold and bizarre exploration of love, loss, and the lengths we’ll go to stay connected. Whether you find it touching, terrifying, or both, it’s definitely a film that sticks with you—kind of like its characters do to each other.
