New entry in the Body horror genre, after the recent The Substance, this is the debut feature of writer/director Michael Shanks. Liked it more than the overrated Bring Her Back. For me the other interesting horror fodder this year include 28 Years Later and Weapons.
Together is an ambitious little horror flick, with themes of love and obsession, about a couple that moves in a little village house, far from town, and a mysterious pit in the woods.
Dave Franco and Alison Brie are married in real life so the intimate scenes have more power, intensity and authenticity than with other actors.
Supporting is Aussie Damon Herriman (The Nightingale, OUATIH, The Bikeriders), and when he's on screen you know something ain't right ;)
Shot in Australia in only 21 days. Debut at Sundance Film Fest in Jan. 2025. Was presented even in Locarno film fest !
Powerful score by Cornel Wilczek. End song, Another One by Golden Suits (2016).
The effects are good for their budget, some morph coming from The Thing and more recently Color out of Space.
7 out 10 ! 3 1/2 out of 5 !
