Hello Out readers! Are you horror fans? Are you Dave Franco fans? If you said yes to either question, you need to check out the actor's latest film, Together!
Together stars Franco with his real-life wife, Alison Brie, as Tim, who moves to a new town with his partner of ten years, Millie. In the new town, Tim and Millie start to become more codependent on each other. That codependency takes on a new, physical form when they find a mysterious cavern with a dilapidated church in it.
After drinking the water in the cave, the couple find their bodies uncontrollably drawn together.
It's a clever new twist on body horror, and it includes some great queer themes!
It also includes some great practical effects, including in one scene where viewers get a peek at Franco's penis. According to director Michael Shanks, about 80 percent of the effects in the film were practical, which required some specialized equipment.
"Having practical effects throughout probably 80 percent of the effects gags in the film was amazing because we'd just be on set and you'd be shooting something in the morning like a dinner scene, and then by lunchtime the practical effects people would be wheeling in puppets, crazy prosthetics or a shoebox full of human genitals," he says.
Check out Together in theaters now!
