When it comes to terror and having fragments that create elements making a scene feel even more creepy, Together captures that aspect and weaves it thoroughly. This film is written and directed by Michael Shanks and stars Dave Franco and Alison Brie. Franco and Brie are also the producers, the leads, and are married in real life. This is by far one of the most daring films that they have made as a couple. When connection and bonding are already in a blur, there is a force that makes disconnect impossible. This is especially true in a forest setting where a change is intended to happen.

The couple is Tim and Millie (Franco and Brie). They move out to a wooded area outside of a city setting for a change of pace.Tim is a struggling musician, and Millie is a teacher. They have underlying conflicts where resolution feels or seems complicated. Millie feels that the move is a way of restoring them. Once they get there, weird events begin to happen. Tim begins to lose his mind with anxiety and sees imagery of dark souls and moving parts. Above all that, Tim and Millie find themselves stuck with each other. The force to keep them together is harrowing and within their new home lies a key to breaking through that barrier.

The essence of an illusion and a strange upbringing with an immersive tone is where Together has that terror and classiness in its film making. The problem around the couple is one bound to be unbreakable, especially with the home bringing in so many moments of creepy attachments. At the same time, viewers will ask themselves why this is all happening. Chemistry and writing and mixed messages spiraling through the characterizations is where immersive components find a new tone of disturbing material.

Together has aspects where the weird moving parts of Tim and Millie spiral into grotesque matters. No spoilers, but I will say this is not a film to watch on a full stomach. Mostly because its glamourization is in the depths of the attachments finding themselves in rather graphic depictions. Together grapples with a relationship becoming more challenging with physical moments added on top of it. Almost like a special on the menu, but the downside is there is no sending anything back.

An above average terror ride where mentality is focused on in great depth. Stunning scenery and unexpected surprises with mixed characterizations from the performances of Franco and Brie. Freaky and at moments disgusting, but one that is bound to create memories for constructing an aspect that is different from any other horror film. Two-and-a-half out of four stars for Together.
