Alison Brie and Dave Franco give a whole new meaning to “too close to comfort” in the nauseating trailer for Neon’s Together, which is sure to cook up summer scares for horror fans.
Written and directed by Michael Shanks, Together made waves at 2025’s Sundance Film Festival. The film stars real-life couple Brie and Franco as fictional couple Millie and Tim, who have just made the big decision to move to the countryside. But what should have been an idyllic, fresh start quickly devolves into a body horror nightmare all about codependency.
However, the trailer starts out not with horror, but with marital ennui. Millie and Tim sleep in different rooms of their new house. He tells her he loves her, but she just responds with a flaccid “okay.”
She craves something new, some kind of reconnection. But in a monkey’s paw move, that wish gets a narly way of being granted in Together. As shown in the trailer, their lips meld into one another as they kiss. Their eyelashes and eyelids tangle. Millie even takes a buzzsaw to herself and Tim, presumably at a point where they’re joined.
As if that weren’t gnarly enough, the trailer is chock-full of other disconcerting images. Millie channels the horror classic The Exorcist with a painful backbend, then levitates and slams against a door. Tim gets dragged into a pit by unknown forces. Add a creepy, breathing cave to the mix, along with some video tapes of what appears to be an occult ritual, and we’re in full nightmare territory.
Together hits theaters July 30.
