"A young girl buys an antique box at a yard sale, unaware that inside the collectible lives a malicious ancient spirit. The girl's father teams with his ex-wife to find a way to end the curse upon their child." www.imdb.com
This movie was interesting but a bit disappointing. With all the hype it got and the radio interviews with the guys who wrote it and their personal stories related to "the box" depicted in the movie. There is so much more that could have been done to add to the story and the thriller aspect of this movie. It definitely doesn't fall into the Horror category, it barely passes for creepy. Pretty much just another Exorcist style movie.
However, the little girl in this movie who gets the box is very good. It is strange that children are so good in scary movies, especially when they are the ones possessed or attacked. It is kind of frightening how good children are at accessing that dark side and portraying it in a movie. Sometimes they are more believable then adults in Thriller, Horror, Sci Fi movies. The rest of the cast in the movie was fine.
