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!

First Observation: The guy who made this movie has only filmed shorts and hasn't made another feature film after this movie.

Second Observation: This is the first film of the woman who plays Parker and she hasn't worked again since. It's been 5 years!

This tells you a lot about the quality of the people involved in this movie. Very quickly you get keyed into the format. Woman claims one thing and subsequent footage proves the opposite. It becomes really tedious really quick.

So I wondered why five years following the release of this movie it's still able to maintain a really good score of over 7 here. It doesn't deserve it at all but if you know how the agenda works you'll know why it gets the score within literally the first 10 minutes of the movie.

And BTW it's not filmed in "high contrast" black and white. It's normal black and white.

I found The Parker Sessions very intriguing and psychologically disturbing. I loved the fact it was done in black and white that gave it a scary ambiance . I thought the plot was very well written, the music added to the frightening intense feeling. I felt the ending was the most deep minded ending of a horror film that I have ever seen . I loved every minute of it 👍

Slow burn but well worth it, funny, dark, realistic, well-acted, well-made, interesting, unpredictable, and entertaining with an amazing twist.

Hands down my favorite feature of the festival. Looking forward to seeing more from this director.

This movie had me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole screening. Dark, Emotional, Bloody and Violent in all the right places. Rachell Sean and Danny James both pull strong performances. I wish this film was a little longer. Can't wait to see what the director makes next!

I loved this movie . I thought it was so different from most horrors and that's what makes it so unique and brillant. I feel like we needed this movie to show that horror movies can be very different from slashers that have been made over the years. I am a huge horror movie fan and I have not been that impressed with most horrors I have seen in the last decade; but I was so impressed with this film because it was nothing like the others. A job well done👍

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!

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.

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.

Saw this Film at the FilmQuest Festival in Provo , Utah. Not usually a fan of Horror films because of the predictability of the outcomes. I don't want to be a spoiler, but this film had more twists and turns than many of the mainstream movies out of Hollywood. The creativity was haunting, but the outcome towards the end took me for a loop. I left the movie wondering if this type of vigilantism should be somewhat acceptable in this day and age. The message in the credits was powerful. I have to say that the music score throughout the movie was top notch and deserves accolades all by itself. Can't believe that this movie was such a low budget movie. The acting was superb. Can't wait to see more work from the writers and producers from this movie.

I had the privilege of seeing The Parker Sessions at a film festival back in September. This is a dark, painful story that takes you for a real ride. The direction of the piece is so smooth and self-assured, that it's a surprise that it's director Stephen Simmons' first feature film. Highlights include gorgeous black and white cinematography, a stunning sound design and killer performances from the two leads. I can't wait to talk about this flick once it's more widely available and to see what this team does next.

Dark, well acted and great twists. I saw this film at HorrorHound in 2021. Very cool little indie horror film. If you are easily triggered, stay far away from this film.
