It’s a slow-burning gem, and a wonderful addition to an already robust 2023 horror slate. Read full review

For horror fans that are as compelled by creative (and thought-through) ideas as by style or skillful 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 most of all, deeply faithful to its spirit.

Written and directed by first-time Danish director, Gabriel Bier Gislason (the son of Susanne Bier), it’s a moody low-key psychological affair, free of schlock and gore, and ultimately, more of a romance than a scare fest. Read full review

The ticktock horror plotting muffles the romantic spark that brought Maja and Leah together in the first place — the thrill replaced by a lukewarm chill. Read full review

This is yet another ''horror'' film that Shudder brings out of Europe and like many of them, the creative ideas are present but that doesn't really translate into good projects.

The aspirations of Attachment are greedy but its discourse becomes clumsy, strained and tiresome and it doesn't recover from it, which unfortunately for its results once again highlights the vexing and repetitive pattern that other films in this line that this streaming service has been releasing lately also suffer from, which is that the horror is becoming an absent guest.… Expand
