First trailer for ‘demented' new horror movie with 100% Rotten Tomatoes score
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 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 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.

Dave Franco and Alison Brie Get Closer Than Ever in Chilling Trailer for 'Together'
Dave Franco and Alison Brie are taking relationships to extreme lengths in their shocking new horror film. On Monday, May 5, Neon debuted the trailer for Together, the latest movie the real-life couple have collaborated on together. The trailer, set to the tune of The Turtles' 1967 hit "Happy Together," finds Brie's character as she appears to meet with a therapist to express that she and Franco's character "haven't been on the same page" since a move to the countryside. While the couple are shown sharing a passionate kiss, their lips briefly get stuck together as if bound by glue. More strange and disturbing experiences suggest a supernatural force in or around their new home is binding the couple 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," reads a synopsis. "With tensions already flaring, a nightmarish encounter with a mysterious, unnatural force threatens to corrupt their lives, their love and their flesh."
