Commitment is scary. It's especially scary when you drink water from a cursed puddle that wants to make a hybrid of you and your partner. Together tells the story of a couple moving to a new countryside home during a questionable period in their relationship: she has a new job and is responsible for the move away; he's emotionally distant since the death of his parents and relies on her for transportation and financial security. They love each other, but will they last? First-time director Michael Shanks demonstrates a good instinct for tone, effectively combining comedy and horror - that Alison Brie and Dave Franco (married in real life) are both experienced comic actors helps the film draw out the absurdity of the events it depicts. What quibbles we might have with details of its supernatural basis are easily ignored because its focus always remains on the central couple. It doesn't matter that some specific detail might not be explained to our satisfaction: the question is always, how do the couple respond to their predicament? Together never loses sight of what's most important, and that makes it one of the best horrors - maybe one of the best films full stop - that we've seen in a while. Recorded on 24th August 2025.

Após beber água de uma fonte misteriosa em um lugar insalubre, Tim e Millie passam a experenciar intensas sensações que os obrigam a ficar cada vez mais juntos (e misturados). A estreia de Michael Shanks no mundo dos longas é fruto de um projeto bastante autoral, dirigido e roteirizado pelo artista, com aspectos autobiográficos (talvez ele não tenha superado a ex). Contando com Alison Brie e Dave Franco como protagonistas, Juntos (2025) é um horror corporal focado em um casal que parece continuar junto por comodidade. O filme cresce ao discutir a codependência de maneira bastante… corporal.

It's part relationship study, part metatextual puzzle, and part… something else entirely.Is Together a sensitive exploration of codependency, or a two-hour therapy session disguised as cinema? What does Michael Shanks' short film Rebooted have to say about his writing/directing style? Are we living in the golden age of horror or just the golden age of films that like to tell us they're horror? The ongoing copyright infringement lawsuit: what does it mean? And does it hold any weight? Most importantly: what does Together really mean? The lads wrestle with that question, trying to separate the profound from the insane. Is this even possible?

This week on Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we dive into Together (2025), the bold and bizarre horror-romance starring Alison Brie and Dave Franco as a couple whose relationship takes a literal turn for the grotesque. When Millie and Tim retreat to a remote country home in an effort to reconnect, they find themselves physically fusing into a single being—an unflinching metaphor for codependency, emotional entanglement, and the loss of self in long-term love. Directed by Michael Shanks in his feature debut, Together is equal parts unsettling and strangely tender, blending dark humor with stunning practical effects and a surprising amount of heart. We discuss the film's surreal tone, its standout performances, and the way it turns an intimate relationship into full-blown body horror without losing sight of its emotiohttps://movieweb.com/author/taryn-flaherty/nal core.

Dave can't make it this week, so we (Megan and Evan) fly duo. Megan kicks things off by reviewing Michael Shanks's horror film TOGETHER (2:31), starring real-life couple Dave Franco and Alison Brie. It doesn't conclude quite as effectively as she hoped, but it still features some gnarly body horror and has something powerful to say about codependency. Next, we both discuss Kelsey Taylor's drama TO KILL A WOLF (20:12), a compelling modern take on the Little Red Riding Hood tale, which we love for its excellent performances, textured characters, and beautiful cinematography that celebrates the Pacific Northwest. After that, we cover Nick Rowland's crime thriller, SHE RIDES SHOTGUN (45:57), which stars Taron Egerton as a live-wire ex-con who must train his daughter to defend herself against the Neo-Nazis trying to hunt them down. It's violent, it's intense, and it kept us on the edge of our seats until its explosive climax. Lastly, in this week's Patreon exclusive audio, we talk about Tarem Singh's 2006 storytelling epic, THE FALL, starring Lee Pace!
