Australian director Michael Shanks makes a striking feature debut with Together, a supernatural body horror film set to release in Australian cinemas on 31 July 2025.
Starring real-life couple Alison Brie and Dave Franco, the film explores the disintegration of a relationship under the strain of isolation and an unsettling external force.
Brie and Franco portray Millie and Tim, a couple seeking a fresh start in the countryside. Their attempt to rekindle their bond is challenged by the eerie presence of a mysterious entity that begins to alter their bodies and minds. The narrative delves into themes of love, identity, and the human condition, all while delivering a chilling cinematic experience.
Premiering at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, Together received critical acclaim for its innovative storytelling and compelling performances. Critics have highlighted the film’s ability to intertwine emotional depth with horror elements, creating a unique and thought-provoking piece of cinema.
The film also features performances by Damon Herriman, Mia Morrissey, and Jack Kenny, adding further depth to the haunting narrative. Shanks’ direction, combined with Germain McMicking’s cinematography and Cornel Wilczek’s score, crafts an atmosphere that is both intimate and unsettling.
Together stands out as a poignant exploration of love tested by extraordinary circumstances. Its blend of emotional resonance and horror makes it a must-watch for audiences seeking a film that challenges and captivates.
Mark your calendars for 31 July 2025, when Together hits Australian cinemas—promising a cinematic experience that will linger long after the credits roll.
