Trinket Box

Made an IMDB account just to write this review.

Dull, slow, boring drawn out scenes. Acting was terrible. Plot was terrible which is unfortunate because they really could've made this into something actually classified as horror with some substance to it.

Lots of information and scenes left out. I wish they would've went into more detail about the box and necklace and its origin. A lot of scenes just didn't make sense and were just plain stupid. Again, acting was terrible. Main characters did not have genuine chemistry and you can sense that as a viewer.

Don't waste your time on this garbage.

This movie's trailer made me want to watch this. Worst mistake. The movie has an interesting beginning. The rest of the movie is loud with unnecessary music and long drawn out scenes. If you were to watch the beginning and last ten minutes you could literally skip the rest. I'm just glad the theater had food which kept me entertained. I pray there's not a sequel. How this movie has great ratings is beyond me.

This is the review of my spouse: I can't believe my husband convinced me to watch this movie for date night. I typically love all horror movies, even the ones with like 13% rotten tomato scores but I couldn't wait for this movie to end. The script was bad, terrible lighting, and sound was overbearing. The plot had potential but this movie just drags. What a snoozer.

Moving into a new house, a married couple tries to put their troubled past behind them that comes about due to their ethnic backgrounds, but the more they spend together they realize that a cursed trinket box is responsible for not just their marital issues but the hauntings surrounding them.

This one wasn't that good of a genre effort. One of the better features here is the rather enjoyable way the backstory about the haunted plantation comes to pass which is handled nicely as a solid backstory. The old-South traditions and treatment of black people back in that time period sets up the reaction to the affair rather nicely with it being a serviceable means of setting up a cruel and unfortunate situation to be rectified by a curse years later, especially with how the daily suffers afterward due to the incident. As this all bleeds over into the modern day and how them moving into the house starts up not just the old inequality issues usually present in these kinds of films but also sets up the mounting sense of paranoia following the numerous visits and gifts left behind that are interpreted with that passive/aggressive manner which starts this off rather well. Unfortunately, this gets wasted with the series of supernatural hauntings in the final half being the only other likable factor. There are some big issues with the film that hold it back. The main factor against this one is the outright sluggish and dreary pace that renders any possible attempt at suspense or thrills negated from the very beginning of the film. Featuring nothing but banal drama between the couple because it focuses on the particular trinket box with no context or lead-up to it, there's very little chance for anything to become invested from the setup so any attempt to try to build anything is just drowned out in a slew of underwhelming arguments that go nowhere. As that also causes the film to be completely lackluster with the usual style of quick image flashes of something popping out of the shadows proves to be the main source of scares here and is quite cliche overall. It could have been much better if only the main attempts to change it up weren't obscured in a realm of absolute darkness that's hard to determine what's going on anyway so if it's cliched or not it's impossible to tell. Overall, these all combine to make for a lackluster feature.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language including numerous racial slurs, Violence, and sexual content.

Starts out semi-decent, Candyman origin lite. Then quickly goes into STINKER territory. Cheesy scares, boring couple drama, dull "walking through the house" scenes that go nowhere and one of the "cleanest" sex scene for an R rated flick ever! This could've been edited down to a thirty minute short film and still accomplished...whatever it set out to do...which I assume is to bore the 💩 out of the audience. There's even an epilogue scene that seems to go on FOREVER. The filmmakers never heard of an editor apparently. My faith in "Tubi Original" films is equaling "The Asylum" and "Gravitas Ventures"...a guaranteed film TURD! Avoid if possible.

This movie was absolute garbage.. I should have read the reviews before I took a shot with this one. All the good reviews had to be ppl from the making of the movie .. the actin wasn't the worst I've ever seen but the movie was awful missin key pieces like what happens to the kid in the beginning.. an then when they had the main character workin on the truck, what was she doin an you can't understand pliers like that for anything lol.. but this was definitely not even worth the watch so if you read the reviews listen to me an pick a different movie cause this ain't the one pick something else!
