    Evil in a box

    Decent premise for this overlooked film. An estranged family gathers to hear what their hated patriarch left each of them. Needless to say, what they receive is not what they anticipated.

    The concept has promise, and although I wish it had taken a different direction, it is a fun film. Dina Myers looks amazing and gives a fine performance, as do the rest of the man cast. The acting is good, most of the characters developed and interesting, and the menacing feel of impending doom made me want to see what played out. Although the basic plot was obvious from the start, this genre-bender that kept me watching until the finish with plenty of unpredictable twists along the way.

    Why not give it a try?

    Forgettable.

    Started off not bad but slowly got more and more stupid with a truly awful ending. The very best part was when the hot Nurse at the beginning undid her blouse a bit and I'm not kidding.

    Great start, collapses 2/3 in

    Starts off well for the genre. There's even some darkly hilarious lines but unfortunately they ran out of gas trying to come up with another 20 decent minutes and it rapidly deteriorates. A pity! 5 stars for some good laughs and Hey it's that Startship Troopers girl and she hasn't aged a day in 20 years damn son.

    Incoherent Story, Nice Ideas, Bountiful Babes

    A mysterious chest without history or concrete relation to its owner and that looks like it was melted in a fire houses a demon who, for no given reason, arranges for six people-a tolerable man with inconsistent OCD, two unlikable men, and three bodaciously derrièred women-to gather on pretext of hearing the recently deceased family patriarch's will read, and genie-like grants a single wish to one unwitting victim at a time whose body it then possesses in order, for no reason, to try to kill its next victim.

    Dialogue is ridiculous, people open doors for no reason and enter rooms with no purpose. I really hated the husband and the dope fiend, and it is incredible that the husband's women want that creep, incredible that the cousin weeps for her brother.

    The shadows, the road, the mirror, the darkness, the trap, and the hurricane are nice ideas.

    Dina Meyer, Bree Williamson, and Austin Highsmith vie with one another to see whose plump booty is most tantalizingly in-your-face. I love them all. They make the film worth watching.

    Ending classical music over credits is beguiling.

    Watch with two grilled-cheese sandwiches and Perrier.

    Hey, it's Lance Henriksen

    The story has a novice premise. Lance, Dina, and Bree do well in it. The CGI is garbage, and the directing was not good. In the idea of a box containing everything is played out. However it is original and bringing all the six people together. I guess with a little bit better writing and directing it could've been better, but it just didn't have a budget. And it posts the people that act in it but Levy Tram is in it for about a minute, and lance has like 5 minutes. And what was with the ending? Why is he in that field?

      In the opening scene the nurse checks her patient's pulse with her thumb, rather than fingertips. Your own thumb has a pulse so the reading would be false.
