OK, Folks havent made a post in ages, but its for good reason, ive been working really hard on several productions (which i will put up). I finally got time to catch a few flicks like "The Box". "The Box" is film about an unhappily married couple who receive a small wooden box on their doorstep. At the push of a button, the box brings its bearer instant wealth but also instantly kills someone the bearer doesn't know. Now this premise was so intriguing to me, when i saw the trailer i saw this as a "Saw" movie for the mind. It just turned out to be a confusing mess! the movie was so hard to follow, there were so many twist and turns that lead nowhere that your mind felt as though it was in a maze and what made it more absurd was when you reach the end of the film and feel a great void. Now we all know that the movie was based on a short story entitled "Button Button" by Richard Matheson which also enspired the Twilight Zone episode "button button". A way you could describe this movie is as one long twilight zone episode except you dont have the soothing words of Rod Sterling at the end. I dont suggest you waste your time watching this movie unless you like confusion!
