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.

Attachment is more of a drama movie dressed in a horror shell. It is a well-crafted film that offers psychological realism, relatable characters with their vulnerabilities, and situations and emotions that many viewers will likely resonate with.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

loved it, defo some great horror here. Spoiler-ish but not quite The whole cast was excellent. The codependently selfish relationship between the main characters was one, both being damaged lonely people, was incredibly well done. Some very strong acting here. Even sweet kind people can unintended hurt each other in their lonelyness. The effects and the soundtrack worked very well too. Sofie gråbøl was excellent as the also codependent mother.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Ending is great, so, watch only the last 20 minutes and be happy giving a 5 star, watch it all and likely leave a 3 star. Your welcome.

Todd Gilchrist

Variety

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.

There is something so intuitively right about this whip-smart film. From its sharp sense of humour to a cunning grasp of its folklore — Attachment is a perfect movie.

Rated: 8/10

Matthew Creith

Edge Media Network

Gislason attempts to present a horror film by personalizing it with the early stages of a romantic relationship between two women. However, the result shines a light on the dysfunctional and codependent dynamic between a mother and her daughter.

The Daily Dot

Rooted in Jewish folklore, this queer horror-comedy sees a woman unexpectedly move in with her girlfriend’s mother – an eccentric and overbearing figure who seems oddly obsessed with supernatural threats.
