Article Summary
- NEON drops a creepy new poster for Together, the anticipated body horror film hitting theaters July 30.
- Together stars real-life couple Dave Franco and Alison Brie, fresh from a buzzy Sundance debut.
- Directed by newcomer Michael Shanks, the film explores codependent relationships through body horror.
- NEON aims to repeat its recent horror success, tapping into the subgenre's big mainstream resurgence.
Together is a new body horror film starring Dave Franco and Alison Brie. It debuted to much fanfare at Sundance earlier this year, and NEON has put out a brand new, kinda gross poster for the film, and will release it into theaters on July 30, hoping to sneak in some end-of-summer horror dollars. The film is from writer/director Michael Shanks. This is his first film. That NEON grabbed this is interesting because, in past years, this premise had A24 written all over it, but after the last year or so, NEON has bolstered its horror standing. It will look to do for Together what it has already done for Longlegs and the Stephen King adaptation The Monkey, to various levels of success. Both of those films are from filmmaker Osgood Perkins.
Franco And Brie Are Together In Every Way
Here is the synopsis for Together: With a move to the countryside already testing the limits of a couple's relationship, a supernatural encounter begins an extreme transformation of their love, their lives, and their flesh. As they lose contact with home, friends, and their sense of self beyond their troubled dynamic, Michael Shanks' clever script grounds their emotional turmoil within its extreme take on the horrors of codependent relationships. With this couple, things will have to get worse — like a lot worse — before they get better.
What a comeback to the mainstream for body horror right now. You don't need to look any further than The Substance being nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Picture, to see that the subgenre is having a moment. NEON was incredibly lucky to get hold of this one, and I am sure they will turn its release into a can't-miss event. This one will be even more fun because, if you didn't know, Franco and Brie are married. From what I am hearing from people who saw this at Sundance, this is a pretty messed-up ride that will freak out many people. July 30 can't come soon enough.
