Dave Franco and Alison Brie, a married couple in real life, star in Michael Shanks’ gruesomely passionate debut feature, Together . It is known as a body horror film, and it is, but it is also part of the burgeoning horror subgenre of scary romantic comedies. As they say, why not both? There have been frightening rom-coms before, but this film drills down into the pair’s relationship, which is the core of the film.
Here’s the synopsis: “Years into their relationship, Tim and Millie find themselves at a crossroads as they move to the country. With tensions already flaring, an encounter with an unnatural force threatens to corrupt their lives, their love, and their flesh.”
Together is now in theaters, released by Neon, and comes with my strongest recommendation. Tic
