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

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

Released in 2020, the locations are gorgeous. The musical score is reminiscent of 1990s Weird Science. The acting is from 80s after school specials, and the cyborg cops are really just 1970s Sleestaks from Land of the Lost stumbling around. I enjoyed the concept - right up until the aliens came back looking for Jesus. Omg. For real? Lol. I gave up and didnt finish it. I strongly suspect that they found a tract from Baptists, or Mormon missionaries ascended to their planet. Id like to think the film ended with the aliens starting a little church outside of death valley in the desert and area 51 cultists come together to sing kumbayah.

It is a very strong contender for one of the worst movies ever made. Have you ever wondered, why did the chicken cross the street? Well in this case, the question is why did the aliens cross the universe. And the answer, besides being done for the price of perhaps 3 McDonald's burgers, is, to look for Jesus. It is unbearably bad. I just saw my first biblical adventure though. But, kind of told in a Sci-Fi-ish way.

The most interesting here is how they managed to raise funds for making it.

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.

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.
