Stephen King Recommends Together, The 2025 Body Horror Movie Starring Alison Brie And Dave Franco
Stephen King praised the 2025 body horror movie Together on his Threads account and wrote:
"Dave Franco and Alison Brie are great--and brave--in TOGETHER. Horror movies work when you care about the people. This one works."
Together stars Alison Brie and Dave Franco as a couple named Millie and Tim who begin living in the country and who are affected by a mysterious and paranormal force in a cave. Produced by the intriguing company Neon, Together could be one of the most exciting 2020s body horror movies thanks to its strong characters and engaging premise. The most memorable body horror films put relatable characters in terrifying and odd situations, and it's easy to put yourself in Millie and Tim's shoes and wonder what you would do if your body started doing wild things that you didn't anticipate.
King's horror movie recommendations are so great because he always gets to the heart of the matter and explains exactly why a story is so impressive. King thinks that Together is great because audiences care about the characters and want to go on this strange journey with them. In the past, the author has praised horror remakes like Let Me In and The Last House on the Left for featuring interesting characters and, in the latter's case, "monsters" who audiences want to see reprimanded.
Together has a 90% Rotten Tomatoes rating and 78% on the Popcornmeter, and many fans are just as enthralled as King was. When discussing the film on Reddit, one fan shared that it was "surprisingly funny," and others praised the ending. While some body horror movies embrace humor, and jokes can definitely lighten the tone of the story, other films like The Substance have a serious and thought-provoking theme.
Brie and Franco are no strangers to scary movies. The actors previously co-starred in the 2020 horror movie The Rental, which Franco directed, and Brie also played final girl Sidney Prescott's (Neve Campbell) publicist Rebecca Walters in Scream 4. Deadline also recently reported on some news that horror fans will be excited about: Brie co-wrote a "female-forward" horror movie with Alice Stanley Jr., and she is directing it.
Brie will star in the superhero movie Masters of the Universe next, which will be released in 2026, and of course, fans continue to hope that they'll see her play kind-hearted Annie again in a Community movie. Franco is playing Jonah in the Colleen Hoover adaptation Regretting You, which is currently filming.
Together was released in theaters on July 30th, 2025.
