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.

Rated: 3/5 Mar 27, 2023 Full Review Attachment | Rotten Tomatoes (2) 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. Feb 13, 2023 Full Review Attachment | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Noel Murray Los Angeles Times That first hour is so sweet that the comparatively sour parts don’t spoil the picture. Feb 10, 2023 Full Review Attachment | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Joseph Tomastik Loud and Clear Reviews Everything about Attachment can best be described as “serviceable”, including its ways of twisting your perceptions around. Rated: 3/5 Oct 6, 2024 Full Review Attachment | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Alisha Mughal Film Daze 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 Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Attachment | Rotten Tomatoes (6) 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. Jul 25, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

James B A brilliant Danish gem. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review Thom G 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 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review pietro s SPOILER ALERTI do not like possession movies, even more if religious. so if that's your jam this is for you. otherwise u have already seen plots that are almost identical Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/24 Full Review Sarah N loved it, defo some great horror here. Spoiler-ish but not quiteThe 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 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/24 Full Review James B 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.
