The first trailer for a terrifying new horror movie has dropped, and it already boasts a rare 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Alison Brie and husband Dave Franco have teamed up for Together, which will be released on July 30 and was written and directed by Michael Shanks.
The latest horror set to give us nightmares follows couple Millie and Tim as they relocate to the countryside for a quieter life, but their relationship takes a creepy turn when they become physically attached.
In the brief teaser, which was set to The Turtles' Happy Together, cracks begin to form in their co-dependent romance, leading Millie to seek help from a therapist.
'Since the move, Tim and I haven't been on the same page,' she tells him. 'Maybe we're just complacent.'
'Well, complacency can sometimes simply be harmony,' he tells her. 'This could be the beginning of something wonderful.
'We spend our lives in search of the other half. If you think you've found that, don't be so quick to let it go.'
We then see the couple passionately kissing before their lips stick together, sparking more confusion.
Things become more disturbing as they battle to save their relationship – as well as their lives – with the chilling final seconds showing their eyelids fusing together.
Together is set to hit the big screen in the summer, but premiered at SXSW in March, and has earned rave reviews from critics, and a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The Daily Beast's Nick Schager praised: 'A giddy grotesquerie that has midnight-movie crowd-pleaser written all over it.'
Screen International's Tim Grierson agreed: 'Brie and Franco, who also serve as producers, lend star power, and the film's catchy conceit could make this a fun date-night prospect for couples with a demented sense of humor.'
'Couples who have been together as long as Tim & Millie start to question where one person ends and the other begins,' Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com wrote. 'Together turns that concept into physical horror in a way that's unforgettable.'
Kate Erbland from IndieWire said: '[A] delightfully unhinged spin on the body horror joint.'
Variety's Owen Gleiberman penned: 'It's fun (in a rather bumptious way), it stars two very good actors playing a couple who have as many issues as couples do in real life, and it works as a totally unhinged yet far from mindless thriller built around a Big Idea.'
As Ross Bonaime of Collider added: 'In this wild horror romance, Brie and Franco go completely all-in with a gleefully strange concept that's some of their best work yet.
'Shanks' screenplay is a great blend of unrelenting horror and laughably uncomfortable moments.'
Alison and Dave first met in 2011 and they announced their relationship the following year.
They eventually walked down the aisle in March 2017 – this marks the third time they have worked in a project together, after The Rental in 2020, and Somebody I Used To Know in 2023.
In a joint interview with People Magazine, they raved about spending their days together professionally.
'I am always so in awe of you when we're on set together,' the Mad Men actress told her husband. 'It's very attractive!'
'We are getting to watch each other do new things,' she praised. 'I'm endlessly impressed by the amount that Dave pushes himself outside of his comfort zone. More Trending
'I haven't seen him do before… Just his sheer physicality – I've always known Dave was a natural athlete but watching the things he does in this movie was truly surprising.'
The official synopsis for Together reads: '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 force threatens to corrupt their lives, their love and their flesh.'
Together is in cinemas on July 30.

In particular fans shared their love for Max's (Sara Waisglass) character arc and performance. 'They ate down and devoured this was an amazing season, it was not cringy at all. It was so different from the first two seasons, it was so serious and I was so into it. I binged watched the whole series,' RT user Adi F wrote. 'Best season yet!!! The writing on this show (at least for Netflix) is REAL TV, especially through Max's character.

‘He's not coming back': Casualty confirms death tragedies as BBC drops new trail
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Iain Dean (Michael Stevenson) is in danger in Casualty soon, as this new trailer shows the drama he will be involved in throughout the medical drama's next boxset. The new mini-series is called Supply and Demand and primarily focuses on the paramedics working at Holby City Hospital. In the first episode – which airs this Saturday – it's been three months since the ambulance crash, and Jan Jennings (Di Botcher) is still struggling to trust young paramedic Indie Jankowski (Naomi Wakszlak). For Iain, who has a great deal of experience when it comes to crashing ambulances and landing into trouble, he takes Indie under his wing and grows frustrated at Jan, believing she should move past the incident. The twelve-parter will delve into the realities of a drug crisis as an interruption to the drug supply chain causes the ED to fall under even more pressure. In this trailer, we see the moment Iain chases danger again, climbing up onto a crane for a daring rescue. As the paramedic team begins to fall apart as a result of many factors, Iain will spend time with Hart – the Hazardous Area Response Team. Star Michael Stevenson recently told me more about Iain's decision to leave Holby…albeit temporarily. 'The offer that comes in for Hart, it sort of side-lines him a little bit and you know as much as he is happy that he's settled now and married and all that kind of stuff, you'll never take that element away from him that he is drawn to the excitement and the thrill of danger.

'And you know he's been with Hems before, Hems is always a good shout for him to do because of the next level up of rescue that he gets to do and stuff like that, but Hart is a whole new level. More Trending 'That is his first temptation away from it, but then what reinforces that is the team around him that he's spent so long building and nurturing is slowly starting to fall apart and that only gets worse as things transpire after this episode.' Supply and Demand will also see Flynn (Olly Rix) struggle to connect with his daughters, while Ngozi (Adesuwa Oni) continues to receive support from Dylan (William Beck), following the reveal that she has an addiction to alcohol.

Hollywood stars unrecognisable in 'masterpiece' Scottish period drama
Margot Robbie and Saoirse Ronan starred in the 2018 film Mary Queen of Scots This sweeping period drama has captivated audiences with its extraordinary impact on devotees of the genre, who continue to extol the "incredibly strong" performances delivered by its Hollywood stars. Unrecognisable in her transformation, Margot Robbie embodies Queen Elizabeth I in 'Mary Queen of Scots', the 2018 opulent historical spectacle that enthusiasts simply cannot praise enough. Sharing the screen as Mary, Queen Elizabeth's ill-fated cousin, is Saoirse Ronan whose performance as the contentious historical monarch was nothing short of "shone through". Adapted from the 2004 biographical work 'Queen of Scots: The True Life of Mary Stuart' and interweaving fiction amid the facts, the film revisits the tumultuous bond between the two regal figures. Upon her return to Scotland from France to assert her legitimate claim to the throne as a Roman Catholic, Mary positions herself as a formidable adversary to the Protestant Queen of England, who strives to keep her in check. What truly resonated with viewers was the compelling depiction of these iconic women of history. Echoing the sentiments of film aficionados, one Rotten Tomatoes review says: "A very powerful look at women in power and women in politics at a time when women were even more 'under a rock' than they are (to a lesser extent) now, with incredibly strong performances from both Ronan and Robbie." They added: "I love how both queens' visceral qualities are displayed and that each woman is unabashed, fierce, and real. The parts of the movie that seem to be slower or less immersive than they perhaps should have been, are still engrossing because of the lead performances. The writing, makeup, music, directing and acting are all solid. I was captivated from start to finish, and I shall watch it again, for sure!", reports the Express. Mary Queen of Scots is renowned for being held captive for over 18 years before her execution after being convicted of treason, with claims she conspired to assassinate Elizabeth I, her cousin and the reigning Queen of England. Elizabeth's ultimate act of retaliation culminated in Mary's beheading at Fotheringhay Castle. The cinematic portrayal of this historical episode has enthusiasts mesmerised. A critique reflects: "Soairse is Fantastic! Love Margo but really think that Soirse was the one who shone through. really cool to see this story play out! love the history and he performances really brought the magnitude to the front of what took place! Well done!". While the narrative substance of the film captivates many, critics among the historically knowledgeable have pointed out discrepancies. They suggest the correspondences exchanged may have been the sole means of dialogue between Mary and Elizabeth, contending the two never actually encountered each other. A review said: "I enjoyed this one and the story it told about the battle among the Scots for the throne and alliance with England, especially between Mary & her brother & her cousin Elizabeth on the throne. Great cast helped deliver the story along with the time period and locations, even if not historically correct." Conversely, some aficionados of historical dramas have hailed the film as a work of art. A critic said: "I think time will look very favourably upon this misunderstood masterpiece. There is some incredible casting, some stunning acting performances, and as a whole, it is a beautiful feast for the eyes. Ronin is spectacular. Spellbinding. Lowden is amazing. A truly stunning film and one which lives with me and deserves so much more praise than it seems to get. Beautiful. I think it's excellent." The already impressive lineup includes Jack Lowden as Lord Darnley and Joe Alwyn in the role of Robert Dudley. The film also stars David Tennant from Doctor Who and Australian actor Guy Pearce, but it's Saoirse Ronan's portrayal that has been garnering rave reviews. A viewer said: "Soairse is fantastic! Love Margo, but really think that Soirse was the one who shone through. really cool to see this story play out! love the history, and her performances really brought the magnitude to the front of what took place! Well done!". For those eager to immerse themselves in the Tudor saga reimagined by a star-studded ensemble, Mary Queen of Scots is now available for rental on Amazon Prime.
