Indie Horror Duo Alison Brie and Dave Franco Reunite for Chilling 'Together'
5 Aug
Summary
- 'Together' is a new horror film starring real-life couple Alison Brie and Dave Franco
- The film is being distributed by Neon, known for successful indie horror releases
- 'Together' faces competition from major releases like 'The Bad Guys 2' and 'The Naked Gun' reboot
The new horror film 'Together', starring real-life couple Alison Brie and Dave Franco, arrived in theaters last week after building steady attention since its Sundance premiere. Directed by Michael Shanks, the film is being distributed by Neon, a company known for pushing indie horror into the spotlight with a string of major successes.
Earlier this year, Neon found success with the releases of 'The Monkey' and 'Longlegs', both directed by Osgood Perkins. Now, the studio has thrown its weight behind 'Together', giving it a midweek launch to get ahead of a packed release window that includes the debuts of 'The Bad Guys 2' and a reboot of 'The Naked Gun'.
Despite facing stiff competition, 'Together' has received strong critical praise, holding a solid 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The film leans heavily into body horror and emotional discomfort, something critics have praised as both disturbing and impressive. Brie and Franco, who have worked on several genre-bending projects together, acknowledged the personal stakes involved in blending their relationship with such a strange genre piece.
