ATTACHMENT is a horror romance about Maja, a has-been actress in Denmark, who falls in love with Leah, a young, Jewish academic visiting from the UK. When Leah suffers a mysterious seizure, Maja fears their whirlwind romance might be cut short and decides to follow Leah back to her home in London. There, Maja meets her new downstairs neighbour: Leah’s mother, Chana. An overbearing, seemingly religious and highly secretive woman, Chana seems resistant to all of Maja’s attempts to win her over. And as Maja notices strange occurrences in the building, she begins to suspect that Chana’s secrets could be much darker than first anticipated.

Critics Consensus

A possession thriller that knows the devil's in the details, Attachment scares some fresh angles out of a well-worn horror subgenre.

For horror fans that as compelled by creative ideas as style or execution, “Attachment” embraces what to many may be a new or different text, but it’s clearly knowledgeable about the traditions of the genre — and deeply faithful to its spirit.

That first hour is so sweet that the comparatively sour parts don’t spoil the picture.

Gabriel Bier Gislason’s debut feature film successfully balances the tensions of Queer romance, religion, mother-daughter relationships, and outright supernatural horror.
