In the height of the 1950s British fashion, popular dressmaker Reynolds Woodcock has no dearth of fame, money, or the occasional lover.

Their tumultuous relationship underscores this Oscar-nominated Paul Thomas Anderson movie.

Fans who enjoyed the peek into Tim and Millie's relationship in Together will be intrigued by this romance drama, with something eerie bubbling under the surface.

Trauma-ridden motel owner Agnes (Ashley Judd) and paranoid war veteran Peter (Michael Shannon) are inexplicably drawn to each other in middle-of-nowhere Oklahoma. What starts as a romantic flame soon dissolves into mental instability when Peter is convinced he has tiny bugs crawling under his skin.

Directed by William Friedkin, the movie is a meditation on mental health and hysteria, told through a grotesque premise that makes fans' skin crawl. Together and Bug share the base premise of two people in a desperately connected relationship. But while the former uses the main leads as the vehicle for body gore, the latter uses bugs as a metaphor for the human condition.

Elizabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore) is a former A-list actress whose dimming spotlight pushes her towards a mysterious serum that promises youth and beauty. But things immediately go south, as its physical and psychological effects turn out to be far more sinister than she expects.

Directed by Coralie Fargeat, the movie explores the raw and uncensored need for human beings to feel eternal and undisputed, through the lens of body horror. While the movie is not outwardly horrifying like Together, it evokes the same themes: a mysterious external substance that changes lives, interpersonal relationships, and human existence.

But when they arrive at the farmhouse, mysterious stories about pig-eating maggots and scratches on a basement door put her in an eerie and uncomfortable headspace.

Written and directed by Charlie Kaufman, the movie is a psychological thriller with horror undertones, because fans are left with questions. Who are these characters? What is happening at the farmhouse? And who is the mysterious janitor the movie keeps cutting to? Together and I'm Thinking of Ending Things grapple with co-existence, where the horror was about being human all along.

A mad scientist named Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum) invites journalist Veronica Quaife (Geena Davis) into his science lair, where his coveted creation, a teleportation device, lies. The duo soon pursues a romantic relationship, which is interrupted by Seth's successful teleportation. The glitch? A fly enters the device with him, mutating him into a human-fly entity.

The raw madness Goldblum exhibits in this grotesque body horror makes it a must-watch for Together fans. The movie won an Oscar for Best Makeup because of its ability to create a hyper-realistic, almost nauseating look for Goldblum in an era where post-production visual effects weren't the norm. Moreover, both horror movies explore relationships in a horrific atmosphere.
