Happy Death Day star Jessica Rothe loses her grip on reality and her memory in our exclusive new teaser for sci-fi horror thriller Affection.
Affection made its world premiere at ScreamFest last week and heads to Brooklyn Horror Film Festival this weekend, on October 18.
In the new teaser below, Rothe plays a mother whose memory resets with seizures, trapping her in a cyclical nightmare where reality can’t be trusted.
Rothe stars alongside Joseph Cross (Lincoln) and Julianna Layne (Prodigal Son) in Affection, which marks the feature debut of writer/director BT Meza.
In the film, “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.”
“This story comes from a deeply personal place, drawn from my emotions, memories, and fears, and I wanted to use sci-fi horror as the lens to explore them,” director BT Meza .
