Trinket Box (2023)
5/10
This wasted some good subplots and a worthwhile ending by not having enough horror sequences to make it worth your time

The Trinket Box (2023) was recently added to Tubi. The storyline follows a couple who gets a deal on a house that's seems too good to be true so they jump on it. They do have a strange neighbor but other than that the neighborhood seems great too. They receive a gift with a unique necklace inside that the wife likes. Once she wears the necklace she sets off a chain of events the couple might not be able to stop.

This movie is codirected by Patrycja Kepa and Acoryé White, in their directorial debut and also stars Acoryé White (Juanita), Augie Duke (Bad Kids go to Hell), Sandra Ellis Lafferty (The Hunger Games), Cindy Hogan (American Underdog) and Barry Ratcliffe (Hawkeye).

The storyline for this was fairly cliche, straightforward and predictable. The ending has some unique elements, but the movie has a similar feel to The Gift and The Watcher. It's too bad because the background story and neighbor had potential. The old lady was creepy. The husband in this was annoying. The horror elements were more creepy than scary and there wasn't enough of them.

Overall, this wasted some good subplots and a worthwhile ending by not having enough horror sequences to make it worth your time. I would score this a 5/10 and recommend skipping it.
