A puzzle box is passed around and winds up with Adam. At specified times a gremlin comes out and kills someone the owner loves. The owner must give the box to someone they love to make it stop.
I liked the box even if the creature was slightly underwhelming. An explanation of the box is given at 70 minutes into the film, but with no real back story. The protagonist family consisted of a cheating dad, moody mom, pregnant and very moody teen daughter, and a messed up son. I found myself rooting for the box. They didn't create good screen characters. Ryan Bellgardt did a better job directing than he did scripting characters.
Guide: F-word, brief sex. No nudity.
