The box, the latest movie from Richard Kelly ( Donnie Darko) is an unusual movie that tells the story of a small wooden box that arrives on the doorstep of a married couple, who know that opening it will grant them a million dollars and kill someone they don't know. It is a psych...( read more)
As a fan of The Twilight Zone and Outer Limits, this film grabbed me from the very simple set up. It starts as a moral dilemma, one that everyone will be asking themselves after having watched the film. It's easy to see where many become turned off by this film. It takes a strict...( read more)
