Real-life husband and wife Dave Franco and Alison Brie become gruesomely entangled in TOGETHER, a marvellously twisted and gloriously gory exploration of co-dependency. In his feature film debut, Australian writer-director Michael Shanks delivers a majorly squirm-inducing body horror with a wildly entertaining fusion of unhinged gross-out moments and heartfelt relationship drama. Years into their relationship, Tim and Millie (Franco and Brie) find themselves at a crossroads as they move to the country, abandoning all that is familiar in their lives except each other. With tensions already flaring, a nightmarish encounter with a mysterious, unnatural force threatens to corrupt their lives, their love, and their flesh. Providing a frighteningly convincing argument for being single, this holds-no-punches Sundance Film Festival hit horror will cut to the bone for couples who are joined at the hip.

From New Line Cinema and Zach Cregger, the wholly original mind behind 2022 hit horror film, Barbarian, comes the highly anticipated new horror/thriller: WEAPONS.

YUNGBLUD. ARE YOU READY, BOY?
Release Date: Wednesday 20th August
Director: Paul Dugdale
Cast: Yungblud
YUNGBLUD. ARE YOU READY, BOY? is a new feature-length documentary from Emmy® and BAFTA winning director Paul Dugdale that follows musician and songwriter Yungblud at a pivotal moment in his career. Ahead of releasing his most personal album to date, and before anyone had heard a note, Yungblud and his touring family travelled to Berlin, where he would perform and record these brand new songs live for the very first time. There would be no audience and no artifice. Nobody telling him what to do, how to sound or who to be. Cameras would roll constantly in the name of truth and trust. And there, at the legendary Hansa Studios building – where Bowie wrote and recorded ‘Heroes’ and U2 created ‘One’ – Yungblud understood that things would never be the same again. This was exactly where he needed to be, to realise where he’s going. Raw, real and ready for what comes next. Shot entirely on location and featuring 12 brand new performances from ‘Idols’, his 4th album, this is Yungblud on film like he’s never been seen before. A personal journey of change, confidence and rock-and-roll chaos, set against a city that has always celebrated counterculture and creativity, YUNGBLUD. ARE YOU READY, BOY? is a revealing and uncompromising documentary about a generational artist finding his own voice.
