👽📡 Proximity (2024): The closer you get, the less human you remain.

"The message wasn’t meant for us. It was meant to change us."

In Proximity (2024), the skies no longer hold mystery—they hold warning. This standalone sci-fi thriller reimagines alien contact not as revelation, but as slow unraveling. When a deep-space communication satellite intercepts an encoded signal aimed directly at Earth, the discovery isn't broadcast to the world. It's buried—by design.

Enter Dr. Elara Voss (Jessica Chastain), a neuro-linguist recruited by a secretive agency to decode the signal. But what begins as a scientific breakthrough quickly warps into a psychological descent. People exposed to the signal start experiencing hallucinations, memory loss, and violent compulsions. Something is reaching out—not to speak, but to infect.

As Elara races to trace the signal’s origin—linked to an ancient meteorite buried in the Arctic—she uncovers a chilling truth: proximity doesn’t mean contact. It means influence. And the closer humanity comes to understanding the message, the further it drifts from itself.

Directed by Alex Garland (Ex Machina), Proximity is cerebral sci-fi at its most haunting. It’s less about alien invasion than identity erosion—an invisible takeover not by ships or lasers, but by thought. By perception. By sound.

Some frequencies weren’t meant to be heard.
