When almost everyone on screen is nursing a pathology, interest in their fates is far from guaranteed. Go to Full Review

3/5
The melodrama can often be laughable, and while it's ultimately entertaining, it struggles with its own identity and what type of movie it wants to be. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
At times tasteless and potentially offensive, the film is also strikingly unpredictable, utilizing violence effectively. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
Parker's slow burn and chilly-minded Proxy is an intensifying horror vehicle that sneaks up on one's nervous system with its observational dark character studies and creepy tension that builds gradually while creating an understated complexity of fear. Go to Full Review

James Ward K 08/28/2023 Superior acting and plotting makes this movie a must-see. All the characters have fascinating arcs. The ending is dreamlike. Not a lot of money was spent making this movie, but a lot of money wasn't needed. The story, the director, and the actors make the movie. There are a couple of gruesome scenes, however, they added to the movie's plot and were not just for scares. This is a very good movie.

This one does that. The murder of a 3 year old child is used as some kind of ham handed attack on the American family cliche. This seems like a niche film for militant homosexuals to giggle over while it makes squares extremely uncomfortable. If so, well done...and screw you Zach Parker.

(Warning): There is extreme violence to a pregnant woman in the opening scene. There you have been (Warned) . Now watch is film. This film is fantastically out there. Every main character is crazy and suffers from narcissism . "No wonder I like it so much". Birds of a feather. The whole narrative gave me a David Lynch vibe. This horror mystery hard to ignore. See more 07/03/2018 Overall story was interesting enough to make this a good watch. I love movies that play with questions of morality and this one did so very well. I understand some performances are intentionally less genuine than others, but that doesn't excuse sloppy sound design. Over all I actually really liked this movie, it sure as hell wasn't boring.
