Director: BT Meza
Cast: Jessica Rothe, Joseph Cross, Julianna Layne
Affection is a 2026 American horror science fiction film directed by BT Meza, starring Jessica Rothe as a woman trapped in a terrifying loop of amnesia and dread, forced to piece together a reality she cannot hold onto — a relentless psychological ordeal that never lets its grip loosen.
What is Affection about?
Ellie wakes each day with no memory of who she is or how she arrived in a house shared with a man who insists he is her husband. Something is deeply wrong — her body, her surroundings, and the man's calm explanations all carry a charge of wrongness she cannot name but cannot dismiss. As she scrambles to gather clues before another reset wipes her clean, the gaps between what she is told and what she glimpses in unguarded moments grow into something far more disturbing than simple confusion. Every loop is its own small horror; every moment of clarity is borrowed time. The film is a race between a woman's shattered memory and a truth that seems designed to stay buried.
Cast & crew
Director BT Meza builds the film's mounting dread around Jessica Rothe, whose work here demands she convey both fragile disorientation and fierce determination within the same scene — often without the anchoring gift of prior context. Joseph Cross plays the husband whose reassurances never quite land as comfort, and Julianna Layne rounds out the principal cast in a role that sharpens the film's off-kilter domestic tension.
Context & significance
For Persian-speaking viewers in the diaspora, Affection arrives fully accessible: it carries a Persian dub and Persian subtitles, so nothing is lost in translation regardless of how you prefer to watch. The film sits squarely in the amnesia-horror lineage that has captivated global genre audiences for years — a tradition of stories where the mind itself becomes the prison. Diaspora viewers with a taste for high-concept psychological thrillers, whether they discovered them on late-night satellite broadcasts or through streaming habits picked up abroad, will find familiar genre pleasures delivered here with a fresh sense of domestic menace. The 90-minute runtime keeps the tension tight and unbroken.
