Alright, but in a sort of rubbish way...

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

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

...wide-eyed credulous attitude, ingenious effects and home-spun values make for some fun family fare...

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

It was good... Until it wasn't. When it starts out it has that feeling like a well-made indie film. Then it veers into poorly produced/ plotless silliness.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

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.

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.

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'.

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.

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.
