Ellie Carter has never met the man who calls himself her husband, doesn't recognize the girl who calls her mother, and can't remember the life she is told is her own. Afflicted by violent seizures that reset her memory without warning, she is trapped in a cyclical nightmare, struggling to uncover the horrifying truth of her existence--before she forgets it all over again.

The lensing and production design are similarly generic, save for a handful of inspired shots that, again, provide glimmers of a clearer vision than the unevenly applied one we ultimately get here.

suffers from losing momentum that shocking violence cannot solve and has more movie at the end of the story. Writer and director BT Meza’s feature debut shows promise with his blend of sci fi and horror

While its not a perfect flick, AFFECTION has the goods as a bloody horror movie and a twisted sci-fi experience.

Affection pulls inspiration from several genres but could have gone further into the implications and ethics of its horrific technological aspects.

Meza did a fantastic job with his first outing, and I can’t wait to see how he builds from here.

[The early twist] is a premise that the movie lives or dies by, but an audience will be primed for the journey through it as long as the magnetic Rothe is leading the way.

I liked that it told a good story without hitting hard on the gore. The opening setup definitely kept you guessing. We had questions after the movie was over because it didn't try to explain everything which was great. The end was satisfying. Good story and the scenes looked great. Worth seeing! I think it is an easy one to rewatch which I rarely feel with movies these days.

I went to the movies on a whim, and when I saw this featured Jessica Rothe, I choose to see this one. I've liked Rothe in everything I've seen her in, including this putting. The girl playing the daughter was a highlight, and the actor playing the husband was effective enough. The story was interesting, but in the final analysis, I just didn't find it scary.
