The Parker Sessions

I dont normally write movie reviews, but after seeing The Parker Sessions I had to make an exception. I first saw The Parker sessions at Macabre Faire film festival and was immedietly engrossed. The film follows Parker, a young girl dealing with emotional turmoil becuase of her disturbing past. So she seeks out help from a counselor to help stop her night terrors.

Sometimes films involving therapy sessions and mental health can feel cliche and overdone but that was not the case with this film. Rachell seans performance was raw and real. And the cat and mouse scenes between her and Danny James(counselor) were fun and intriguing to watch. Especially as the film goes on and things start to unravel in an unexpexted and wild way.

The writing was smart, and the black and white cinemetography was beautiful and captivating. Overall the film is a great watch with a wild payoff at the end. And for Stephen King Simmons first feature film, im impressed and cant wait to see what he does next!

Creative mind at its finest! A step in bringing awareness to the sad truth of someone's every day reality even to celebrity life. How a blind eye can be so easily turned out of pure ignorance.

Was lucky enough to watch this movie remotely during a film fest, and I loved every minute of it. Beautiful imagery, slow and steady burn, violence with meaning instead of just for the sake of violence. Leaves you just traumatized enough. Couldn't recommend it more, don't miss out on this psychological horror!

Nightmares really do come true. This movie is made for connoisseurs of true independent horror films. The script was magnificent. The acting excellent. I couldn't stop thinking about this movie for weeks. It is what art and independent film should emulate, This film does take some patience, as all truly good horror independent films do. Don't miss it, or you'll be sorry.

This film is a triumph. It is overall a simple story but every time you think you know what you are watching, there is a twist and that sends you on a different journey until the very end.
