"This is a slightly unusual horror movie, although I won't say too much about it so I don't spoil the surprise (and there will be surprises!). The acting is brilliant, particularly the kid who is surprisingly good (so many aren't). You'll probably figure out some of what is happening early on and work out what the characters are about, but I doubt you'd guess all the details. Not sure how much repeated viewing value it has, but it was certainly a decent watch."
"BT Meza’s Affection is a tightly controlled exercise in mood and escalation. The film centers on a relationship that begins with vulnerability and quickly shades into obsession, using confined spaces and close‑quarters cinematography to keep the viewer locked inside the characters’ emotional volatility. Meza’s direction favors stillness and tension over overt shocks. Scenes stretch just long enough to feel uncomfortable, and the film’s quiet moments carry more threat than its louder ones. The performances are grounded and naturalistic, which makes the psychological unraveling feel disturbingly plausible. Visually, Affection leans into muted palettes and intimate framing, giving it a voyeuristic texture — as if the audience is witnessing something private, fragile, and increasingly unsafe. The film’s strength lies in its restraint: it never becomes sensational, instead letting unease accumulate through behavior, silence, and subtle shifts in power."
"I admit that I bought "Affection" because Jessica Rothe is in it. And she is outstanding in this film. However the plot is much (much!) better than I had anticipated. The rest of the (admittedly small) cast also shine. It certainly has a much darker vibe than the Death Day movies, but rather reminds me of the memory loss / amnesia movies. I would enthusiastically endorse this movie to Rothe fans, and to those who enjoy the Body Snatcher movies."
"Very weird but effective sci-fi horror film. The packaging is fantastic. Not bad for an Indie sci-fi film."
"Really interesting and entertaining film. Fantastic acting. Great story. Some questions left unanswered but I didn’t mind that. I love this movie. Wonderful practical effects too."
"Great little horror film"
"I'm a big fan of Jessica Rothe since seeing here in the Happy Death Day movies so had to grab this. Film was very good and not what I expected but in a good way. Great effects, story, and acting and love the slip."
"Loved the leading girl in Happy death day. This is kinda a similar set up with her trying to figure out what’s going on. But much more serious. Body horror and creepy husbands galore. Weird twist"
"Affection may not be the most original film to feature an undying love plotline, but the practical effects and Jessica Rothe's performance made the film a worthwhile watch."
"Sickening horror staring the Queen of the era Jessica Roth! Great visual affects also"
