PROXY

A very pregnant Esther is having an ultra-sound at the doctor’s. All is normal except her apathetic detachment. Then walking home, she is brutally attacked and beaten by a hooded assailant. She seeks consolation in a support group, where she meets Melanie, a mother who has lost a child. But nothing is as it appears; friendship and empathy become dangerous, for both of them. Enter tough, charismatic Anika and the trio of women with behavioural issues to rival Medea’s is complete.

Zack Parker has made an intensely dark and perverse thriller, with some of the most quietly disturbing scenes in recent genre history.
