Movie | The Box | Pass

I've been looking forward to whatever comes next from Richard Kelly, the creator of the superb Donnie Darko. After the fiasco of Southland, which was such a mess, he redeems himself...somewhat. The Box comes off as an episode of The Twilight Zone, without a lot of depth. Diaz' fakey accent bugged me and I don't understand why it was set in the 70s. Was it because of the Mars/NASA stuff?

But, overall, it was worth seeing and a slowly boiling, suspenseful film. A Pass.
