Together Reviews Lead To Excellent Rotten Tomatoes Score for Horror Movie

Following early reviews, Together has earned widespread critical acclaim, debuting with a Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. While its grotesque visuals and relationship themes invite comparisons to David Cronenberg’s work, the film establishes its own identity as a bold, emotionally raw body horror romance.

Together gets stellar reviews from critics

Adam Graham (Detroit News) called the psychological layers of the script “just as potent as the eventual literalizing of their fears.” Bill Goodykoontz (Arizona Republic) noted, “If you can’t laugh while you squirm, it’s unbearable. Together is more than bearable. It’s really fun.”

Rocco T. Thompson (Slant Magazine) highlighted that “Together treats its body horror as just another wrinkle in the complexities of what it means to love someone else.” Tomris Laffly (RogerEbert.com) remarked, “Finding out whether an on-screen couple have what it takes has rarely felt this cutting, and, ultimately, this rewarding.”

Kristen Lopez (The Film Maven) said, “Together is a wild ride that, for all the squishing and melding, is also a powerful story of romantic complacency.” Bob Strauss (San Francisco Chronicle) described the film as cutting “blood-curdling rawness with sensitivity,” praising the physical acting.

Brian Tallerico (RogerEbert.com) observed that the film turns long-term relationship questions into “physical horror in a way that’s unforgettable.” David Rooney (The Hollywood Reporter) stated, “Director Shanks is in his devilishly playful element,” while Owen Gleiberman (Variety) wrote, “It works as a totally unhinged yet far from mindless thriller built around a Big Idea.”

Together is certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes

As of July 30, 2025, Together holds a certified fresh score of 99% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 87 critic reviews. The near-unanimous praise marks it as one of the best-reviewed horror films of the year. An official audience score has yet to be posted, as the film currently has fewer than 50 verified ratings.

Directed by Michael Shanks, Together follows longtime couple Tim (Dave Franco) and Millie (Alison Brie) as a move to the countryside turns into a nightmare when a mysterious force physically fuses them. The film uses body horror to explore love, co-dependency, and the fear of losing oneself in a relationship.

The film hit in theaters on July 30, 2025.
