Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review Alright, but in a sort of rubbish way... Jun 16, 2020 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Demeusy is talented, and while his debut isn't all that fresh or original, the filmmaker's presentation of the material is still notably impressive. Rated: 2/4 May 23, 2020 Full Review Peter Travers Rolling Stone This low-budget tale of alien abduction is an in-and-out impressive calling card for debuting feature writer and director Eric Demeusy. who gets the look right but slips up on bringing depth to the script and getting past his Spielberg fixation. Rated: 2/5 May 15, 2020 Full Review Nick Levine NME (New Musical Express) His directorial debut might star the beardy prophet, but the saviour of cinema Eric Demeusy is not... Rated: 2/5 May 11, 2021 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com ...wide-eyed credulous attitude, ingenious effects and home-spun values make for some fun family fare... Rated: 3/5 Feb 22, 2021 Full Review Sarah Musnicky Nightmarish Conjurings PROXIMITY is a film that shows director Eric Demeusy's potential, but the overall product reads as more stale rather than exciting Rated: 3/10 Jun 21, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

House R It’s nice to see optimistic science fiction that isn’t filled with gore and horror. That’s what makes Proximity original in our modern, pessimistic age. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review ARNI S Who in the world is writing these low brow scripts and who is producing this garbage. It's like stuff from a cheesy dime store Sci-fi magazine. So sad the youth of this country and the world are being abused by this trash. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/03/24 Full Review Scrap G These kids made a decent student film project, but it got pretty corny at times, and the white-spray-painted Airsoft uniforms worm by the 'CIA-like robots' were poorly constructed. I'm at that part of the film when I just had to check out Rotten Tomatoes' review score, and it was literally what I thought it would be for the audience, around 30%. It's cute, and has some good parts, but...overall it's just 'corny'. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Lesley T I really enjoyed this movie. It captured me from the beginning and kept me intrigued and at times on the edge of my seat the whole way through. Loved Issac, perfectly cast. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Simon N What a shame. Beautifully shot from the get go and a great plot for the first ten minutes or so, then it slowly descends into drivel. The first oh no was the introduction of the love interest, she had to be a pretty young thing, then the baddies appear in a ridiculously signalled scene and then the most laughable cyborgs of all time, then the all american hero with the super secret internet access who just happened to be in the right place at the right time. B movie territory. I wanted to like it but the director seems to have gone out of his way, with the story line and the wooden baddies to just make me hate it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review Paul W Seriously one of the top 3 dumbest sci fi movies I have ever seen, an embarrassment to the genre. If all that wasn't bad enough, there is constant non-stop background music through the entire movie, with over the top grand musical scores accompanying scenes where virtually nothing is happening. I wasn't sure if the whole show was just a comedic parody. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
