So I read all the reviews before going to see the movie....I don't know what people are thinking. This was a great film. It wasn't hard to follow at all, and the two hours went super quickly. I thought it was entertaining, and very interesting. I liked it a lot! Go see it!

Horrible waste of time, 2 hours was too long for this movie. Wasn't interesting or exciting in any way.

Hello out there.This is my first review. Please let me know if this is how it's supposed to go. I saw this movie the first time and thought it was insane. BF decided we should try it again and we have seen it 2 more times,and this is what we think. The Box is a very smart,deep idea and everything eventually makes sense. But it doesn't if you don't see it a few times. Unless you are highly intelligent,do not spend the money at the theatre. Buy it and watch it a few times. The director should have taken into account the average audience he would get if he wanted it to be a people pleaser.But if he just wanted to make a good mystery he did a good job. My biggest complaint is the random bunch of people in the crowd scenes who had nothing to do with anything. We will buy this. Thanks for reading.

Like Kelly's other films, "The Box" is not about what it seems to be about. In order to get the most out of this film, you should be prepared to look beyond what is happening and instead analyze the underlying symbolic meaning. The movie is rich in symbolism, and beautifully shot. Even the colors of the couple's apartment have arguable symbolic significance. The movie lulls you in with warm scenes of normalcy, home and family. It is not until much later in the film that some truly creepy and disturbing events begin to occur. This is not a movie for an intellectually lazy movie goer. This is not a movie of cheap thrills. If you enjoy theological debate and existential pondering, I highly recommend the film. Exactly who is the mysterious stranger? Who or what does he represent? Is the button on the box really a button on a box, or is it a re-interpretation of a classic story of female temptation? Excellent film. Go in with your thinking cap on. Reminds me a bit of Hitchcock and Lynch.

Don't be fooled by the trailers, which makes this movie look like a darker version of "indecent Proposal", that is, creepy but still a fairly conventional morality tale. After seeing the movie I realized that it is a remake of a mid-1980s New Twilight Zone episode, which came from an early 1970s short story by master science fiction author Richard Matheson. In stretching the short story into a feature length film, the plot line morphs into a gloomy, silly and extremely confusing array of scenes and under-written characters. It lost so many audience members along the way that I actually heard some hissing when the movie ended. And this was a sneak preview crowd that got in for free! I am a hardcore Twilight Zone fan and so probably liked it more than the average film goer, but that isn't saying much. If you really want to see this movie in a theater then act quickly because I think the word of mouth will kill it after its first week.
