i wasn not sure on what to expect from the box . i be a huge fan of darko and but also saw the mess that become of southland tale and whether or not that be a studio botch up and who know . with the box i be pleasantly surprise . it be a throwback to classic sci fi paranoia film that hint at much large devious happening and but center on an intimate character base . the slow build and and creepy tension be very effective to the tone and theme of the entire film . any change in such pacing and would have lead to the typical hollywood or mtv style and that just wouldn not have serve this story purpose correctly . everything from the strange look or act extra litter throughout and to the low end score and to the minimal explanation of what exactly be go on and add an entire focused thread of underlie dread and and the shrink sense of hope for our greedy and though well mean and lead character . this be something well think out and put into motion by richard kelly and from the first act through to the end . richard matheson short story and which this be base on and not the twilight zone ep and which be another take on the story and be one of morality and greed which be still the central element of the box . be only some 8 pgs long and expand it into a feature with substance would have be no easy task and but be do so with style and originality and leave the viewer with linger thought about the film . many have and will compare this to darko for whether or not it be a profound and but i find it to be an entirely different film and thematically and emotionally . it tone be completely different and a be the message and intent of this film . where darko leave u with question internally and the box leave the viewer with more external question and involve the world around u . such a and know human nature and would the test of the box ever come to an end . decent acting and great creepy visuals and and loom atmosphere add to the slow chilling ride . it not for everyone and but for those who get where it come from and it a treat .
