"We traverse the span of our lives in relentless pursuit of our other half... Should you chance upon yours, hesitate not to cling to it with unwavering resolve." Neon has unveiled the comprehensive official trailer for "Together," the ingenious and macabre comedy-horror masterpiece from Australian filmmaker Michael Shanks (renowned for "Rebooted"), which has left audiences in absolute awe. The film premiered to thunderous applause and glowing reviews at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival in January – I was enthralled (read my review) and promptly listed it among my festival favorites. Following its Sundance triumph, "Together" played at SXSW, garnering even more exceptional praise.
In this hair-raising horror tale, a couple's relocation to the countryside unwittingly triggers a supernatural occurrence that radically transforms their bond, existence, and very corporeal forms. Prepare to embark on this harrowing journey with them. Real-life pair Alison Brie and Dave Franco star as the lead couple in this wild and bizarre film guaranteed to send shivers down your spine. The ensemble also boasts Damon Herriman, Sunny S. Walia, Jack Kenny, and Mia Morrissey. This motion picture stands as one of the most acclaimed horrors of 2025! You will yearn to witness it amidst the theater crowd, where screams and squirms will punctuate every spine-chilling moment. It's nothing short of brilliant! Catch it in theaters this August.
From Sundance: "As a couple's relocation to the countryside stretches the limits of their relationship to breaking point, a supernatural encounter ignites an extreme metamorphosis of their love, lives, and flesh. Writer-director Michael Shanks tackles horror with a diabolical exuberance, reveling in the creation of wildly imaginative and nightmarish scenes."
"Together" marks the feature directorial debut of the exceedingly talented Australian filmmaker Michael Shanks, who has helmed numerous acclaimed short films, including the esteemed stop-motion animated short "Rebooted." It is produced by Alison Brie & Dave Franco, Mike Cowap, Erik Feig, Julia Hammer, Tim Headington, Andrew Mittman, and Max Silva. The film initially premiered in the Midnight section at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year (read our review).
