Earlier this year at Sundance, I had one of the most enjoyable moviegoing experiences of my life watching Together with a packed crowd for its world premiere screening. NEON quickly scooped up the entertaining body horror led by Dave Franco and Alison Brie, and it’s been a long wait for the film to finally arrive in theaters. But that wait ends this month, and ahead of it here’s one more trailer for the film that I believe will be the sleeper hit of the summer.
Written and directed by Michael Shanks, Together centers on Tim and Millie, who are at a crossroads after many years together. Uprooting their big city life for the countryside, they really only have one another to rely on, and that level of codependency can cause problems. Things get worse when they encounter a supernatural force that drives them even closer together.
Similar to previous trailers, I still feel that too much is being revealed, but it shouldn’t take much away from the film which has plenty of surprises up its sleeve. Suffice it to say, Franco and Brie’s incredible comedic and romantic chemistry is absolutely essential to Together‘s success. It was among my favorite films at Sundance, and if you can check out my review here if you don’t mind some spoilers.
SYNOPSIS: Years into their relationship, Tim and Millie (Franco and Brie) 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.
Also starring Damon Herriman, Together opens in theaters on July 30th.
