•Together is a surprisingly original horror film that skillfully blends body horror, suspense, and a reflection on couple dynamics. Michael Shanks' direction demonstrates a great mastery of rhythm and unsettling atmospheres, building tension scene by scene without ever falling into the banal.
Alison Brie and Dave Franco deliver impeccable performances: their on-screen chemistry makes the physical and psychological transformation of the characters believable and at the same time disturbing. The body horror scenes are executed with practical effects and balanced CGI, managing to be shocking but never gratuitous, and underscore the theme of intimacy and the fusion between two individuals in an original way.
What sets Together apart from other 2025 horror films is its ability to combine visceral thrills with a psychologically intense story. The screenplay plays with irony and tension, delivering moments of pure terror but also reflection on the bond between people. The soundtrack emphasizes every moment of suspense and contributes to creating a constantly tense and engaging atmosphere.
In summary, Together is an intelligent and original horror film, capable of surprising and disturbing in equal measure, confirming the talent of the cast and director and marking a reference point for modern body horror.
