lojitsu A-Z Horror Movie of the Day..."Proxy" (NR - 2013 - US)Sub-Genre: Psycho/Disturb My Score: 6.3Cast=4 Acting=8 Plot=5 Ending=6 Story=8 Scare=3 Jump=4 F/X=7 Psycho=9 Twist=9The life of three parents who have all shared the loss of a child. Motives are not what they seem and sanity is in short supply in this thriller.This movie will make me think twice about joining a support group! What starts with one horrific incident turns into many other horrific incidents. It was like a game of "Psycho Wars"; where only the most deranged may live on for a book signing and a TV movie. This is not scary, but disturbing as hell! This is one to have you shaking your head afterward. Is it weird that I no longer think therapy is a good idea? I didn't think so either.

samandor-15781 This is a more complex film than you usually get while surfing for thriller titles. I don't want to divulge anything about the plot - following the unexpected twists and turns is part of what makes it great. It's a bit like Blood Simple, in that none of the major characters has a complete picture of what is happening, even after they collide. The director may not be the Coen Bros quite yet, but he is on the right track!It moves at a fairly slow pace in the first half (a lesser film would have ended around the midpoint), but ends with a bang. Requires more patience than most thrillers these days.

TheDiggingestDog The film and film score has a Hitchcock thriller vibe that I wasn't expecting. As a psychological thriller it is both fresh, peculiar and has something pure art form about it. All the drama and character ties come from sick minds effecting each other and negatively effecting other more normal people. The movie is half way making a parody of itself, its characters and inspiration, over thinking this film is unnecessary. But to me and my over thinking two cents, it seems to go far deeper and have a more well crafted point. To me, it symbolically exposes, undoes, and somehow at the same time glorifies Hitchcock and Herrmann's Psycho. If it had your eyes bulging and scratching your head a time or two, then that is enough. This is why I started watching horror/thriller to begin with, becoming somehow comfortable under distress and having my mind twisted into a pretzel. I enjoyed the ride with this movie and would definitely watch it again. The ending even put a fat grin on my face, easing away all the bizarre tension into a clear cookie-cutter-picture of evil wrapped with a bow on top.

Baleegh Shaw The movie started with very sad beginning with pregnant women who after routine checkup departs from hospital and in the alley was hit by a stranger who very cruelly bang a brick on her pregnant stomach there by killed the fetus in the womb. The later shown that the victim joins a group named "mourning mother" where she met another victim women who portrays that her three years old son was killed in a road accident by a drunken driver. The second lady was actually faking the story of her son being killed where as he was very much alive. The first lady befriends the second and thought like herself that she was also a lesbian turned heterosexual. So she tries to move in the other direction but was stopped. The second lady saw the first in a super market shopping with her husband and son so she went to her house and drowned the son in the bath tub to make her equal like her. The husband entered the scene and fired the first lady killing on the spot. Now the lover of the first lady searches the house of the second and tries to kill her but the second one was prepared and killed the lover women as well. The story was good, a new idea and an eye opener before making unknown friends; the things can go lethal as shown. I gave this movie seven out of ten score as it was a new subject which definitely needs to be high lightened.
