Murder by Proxy

About This Movie

Murder by Proxy has this intriguing blend of tension and paranoia that keeps you guessing. It starts with the president of an electronics firm meeting a suspicious end, and then the phone calls start, hinting at a bigger, darker plot. The pacing feels like it’s creeping up on you, almost like a slow burn that suddenly lights a fire. The atmosphere is thick with suspense, enhanced by practical effects that hold up surprisingly well for the era. The performances, though perhaps not standout, have this raw edge that makes the characters feel real and relatable. Overall, it has this unique vibe that gives it a distinct flavor among the crime thrillers of its time.

Murder by Proxy is a bit of a hidden gem in the 70s crime thriller scene. It hasn't had a huge number of releases, making it somewhat scarce, especially in good condition. Collectors tend to appreciate its atmospheric storytelling and unique approach to suspense, which stands apart from more mainstream titles of the time. If you come across a decent copy, it’s definitely worth picking up for the collection.
