Part Jewish Horror, Part Romance, Shudder's 'Attachment' Premieres Next week

Part Jewish Horror, Part Romance, Shudder’s ‘Attachment’ Premieres Next week

Next week, Attachment, the feature debut from Denmark-based writer/director Gabriel Bier Gislason, a horror romance steeped in Jewish folklore, is set to make its premiere on Shudder. Maja (Josephine Park, Baby Fever), a Danish has-been actress, falls in love with Leah (Ellie Kendrick, Game of Thrones, An Education), an academic from London. After Leah suffers from a mysterious seizure, Maja returns with her to her childhood home. There, she meets Leah’s overbearing mother, Chana (internationally acclaimed Danish actress Sofie Gråbøl, The Undoing, The Killing), a woman who could hold dark secrets. The film puts a new twist on the demonic dybbuk sub-genre in horror and pairs it with an unexpectedly campy and comedic flare and sincere, personal script. Written for Josephine Park, Gislason’s longtime friend, and loosely inspired by stories from her life, Attachment is set in the Hasidic area of North London, where Gislason lived for years. The film draws heavily on Yiddish folklore art and literature, portraying a

The trailer for Michael Yurinko’s riveting new horror thriller Impuratus has now been released ahead of its March release date. Tom Sizemore stars as Detective Clayton Douglas, a Homicide Detective Clayton Douglas who is summoned to a remote mental hospital to witness the deathbed confession of a mysterious Civil War soldier.
