After releasing the horror hits Longlegs and The Monkey, distributor NEON returns to the genre this summer with Together, a body horror romantic comedy starring real-life spouses Alison Brie and Dave Franco.

The upcoming movie from writer-director Michael Shanks, making his feature debut, is said to “put a meta spin on the body horror film” in what NEON are calling “the horror movie of the year”.

Per the synopsis: Years into their co-dependent relationship, Tim (Franco) and Millie (Brie) find themselves at a crossroads as they move to the remote countryside, abandoning all that is familiar in their lives except each other. With tensions already flaring, a nightmarish supernatural encounter with a mysterious, unnatural force threatens to corrupt their lives, their love, and their flesh. Damon Herriman also stars.

The film premiered in the Midnight Section at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year to very positive reviews, which sparked a bidding war among companies including A24, NEON, Apple TV+, Focus Features, Mubi, Searchlight Pictures, and Amazon MGM Studios.

Producers of Together are Mike Cowap, Andrew Mittman, Erik Feig, Julia Hammer, Tim Headington, Max Silva, Brie and Franco.

Together releases in cinemas from August 1st, 2025. Watch the teaser trailer below:
