Review of The Box

The Box (I) (2009)
Press the button. Someone dies and you get a million dollars.

Warning: Spoilers
This film is about a mysterious box arriving at an American family's doorstep. Inside there is a button, if you press it, someone dies but you get a million dollars.

I haven't seen something so suspenseful and thrilling for a long time! "The Box" employs basic psychology of greed, and effectively creates an unnervingly eerie atmosphere. It maintains an unsettling atmosphere throughout, and surprisingly without the need for shocks or blood. Though there are some unsolved mysteries in the plot, it still keeps me engaged, thrilled and scared. It even makes me ponder on all the possibilities of pushing or not pushing the button.

"The Box" is an exceptionally suspenseful psychological thriller. I would recommend it to others without hesitation.
