Trailer for Alison Brie and Dave Franco's Body-Horror Film TOGETHER
Neon has released the first trailer for Alison Brie and Dave Franco’s upcoming body-horror film Together. The film centers on a couple's move to the countryside, which triggers a supernatural incident that drastically alters their relationship, existence, and physical form.
The movie comes from writer and director Michael Shanks, and it’s explained that he “approaches horror with a devilish exuberance that relishes in creating wildly expressive nightmarish moments.”
Together “pulls off an impressive progression of body horror freak-outs as it follows a dysfunctional couple’s big move away from the city to a more isolated existence. As they lose contact with home, friends, and their sense of self beyond their troubled dynamic.”
The story “grounds their emotional turmoil within its extreme take on the horrors of codependent relationships. With this couple, things will have to get worse — like a lot worse — before they get better.”
Together was a big hit at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, and it sparked a bidding war. Neon reportedly spent over $17 million on the movie making it one of the biggest deals in the history of Sundance.
The movie is set to hit theaters on August 1st. Watch the trailer below and let us know what you think!
