"Together" My Review

When I'm asked about my go-to genre in a movie, I don't blink twice before answering that question because I know my all-time go-to genre in a movie and that is "horror," yeah, you heard right. I love horror movies, though sometimes I get scared when I watch such movies at night, so what I do is never watch such movies at night, so I don't find myself running around the house in the middle of the night.

A few days back, I was bored and needed something to keep myself busy, then I realized I hadn't seen a movie in forever, even though it's just a few days. I went to my movie app and saw this movie "Together" at first I thought it was a romantic movie "now blame that on the title" then I went further into seeing the trailer and guess what "it wasn't all romantic like I thought it to be" so that alone built something in me and I was like "let's go" and my journey into the movie started.

The Plot

"Together" tells the story of Millie Brown, who got a job at an elementary school in the countryside and decided to move there with her long-time boyfriend, Tim, an aspiring musician. Shortly before they moved, their friends hosted a party to send them off when Millie proposed to Tim in the presence of her friends. Tim hesitated to respond thereby embarrassing her at the party.

While hiking in the woods, the couple fell into a cave during a rainy storm and decided to camp inside the cave till morning. Tim drank water from a pool inside the cave, and immediately he started having traumatic memories of his mother and his late father's corpse on the bed. Waking up the next morning, Tim and Millie find their legs partially stuck together, but then they dismiss the incident after separating.

After the incident when they got home, Tim started experiencing episodes where he was physically drawn to Millie, as the symptoms persisted, Tim visited a doctor who told him what he was feeling was a panic attack, but Tim was sure it wasn't a panic attack, but something else that he couldn't explain.

Tim had a gig to perform with his friends at an event, so Millie drove him to the train station, but he experienced another episode and dragged himself to Millie, who was at her school. An angry Millie confronts him inside the kids' restroom when they found themselves making out, after which their genitals got stuck. They painfully forced themselves to separate, where they were caught by Jamie, another teacher.

During the night, Tim and Millie find themselves supernaturally drawn to each other, causing their bodies to contort unnaturally. They managed to separate themselves that night using a saw. In the morning, Millie insisted that they visit a hospital, but she couldn't find her car keys when she realized she had left them at Jamie's place. She went to get the keys and asked Tim not to do anything and to wait for her in the house.

The moment Millie left the house, Tim went to the cave to look for an answer when he came across a couple who were partially fused together because they had refused the fusion at the beginning. Millie ran home after witnessing a video of a couple who accepted the fusion when she met Tim at the driveway. He told her what he saw in the cave about the couple who refused the fusion process. Tim claims he doesn't want to end up like them, the two went home and accepted the fusion process as they fuse into a singular being.

My Review
Currently, I don't know where to start as I'm speechless right now. I didn't expect the movie to be this, though. From the beginning, everything seemed different till at some point I started feeling the peak of the movie.

It takes the idea of relationship to move to the next level by fusing together to become a singular being, and that really shows the term "love." The movie was incredible because it started by showing the cracks in their relationship before taking things to a horrific turn.

Now talking about the acting, it was top-notch. I haven't seen a horror movie like this, though; it ticked all my boxes for a perfect horror movie. I'm glad I saw this movie to the end, and also there was no boring scene to behold because every scene served its purpose.

I'm gonna rate this movie a 9/10, the one is for my time spent watching the movie. Images are screenshots from my phone.
