The Box 2009

A couple is faced with a box and a choice, if they push the button, they will get a millon dollars but someone they don't know will die.

I actually decided to watch The Box because of the synopsis. It didn't sound too bad but then I found out that Cameron Diaz was in it. Then I found out that Mr. Donnie Darko himself, Richard Kelly, directed it. So I promptly put The Box in my stash so that when I ran out of "good" horror movies to watch, I could watch it.

That's right Mr. Kelly, I still haven't forgiven you for Southland Tales. What a piece of shit.

Anyways, imagine my "surprise" when I found out that there were no twists in this film. Well, I mean, there are, but if you have seen at least one SAW movie, you will figure them out. If you have seen at least one SAW movie and you have watched the entire series of X-Files or are familiar with alien conspiracies, you will keep thinking that at some point, it will get better.

It will not.

Yes, it was originally a short story (Button, Button) and then a Twilight Zone episode, but there is a big difference between a Twilight Zone episode and a fucking feature length film. I do not understand where people think that they can take a couple of pages and make you watch it for 115 minutes. That's right, Kelly took a 25 minute episode and turned it into a TWO HOUR LONG movie!

In fact, I don't even want to type about this any more because that's how sick of this movie I am. Seriously.

Instead of watching The Box, save yourself 113 minutes and watch The Button.

The Button - watch more funny videos

Watchability: If you loved Southland Tales, you will love The Box!
Gore: Mr. Stewart has half of a face. That's about it.
