Review of The Box

The Box (I) (2009)
2/10
Interesting initial premise, then goes off the rails.

This was a short story, which was made into a nice Twilight Zone episode a few years back. This film starts well with the same plot, but unfortunately manages to take another 90 min to resolve it. The film got dumber & dumber, with strange things happening with no answers. I even waited for the titles to come up to see if there was a revelation at the end but no such luck.

The other major problem with the film was understanding what people were saying as the fool director had the habit of thinking it was fun to have loud music in the background to drown out the voices, to make things even more confusing.

Awful film that was good first 30 min then lost the plot. Luckily the director doesn't seem to have been let lose on anything since.
