Kelly sets up a fine little tale, based upon an old short story which was coincidentally adapted into an '80's episode of The Twilight Zone. The muted tones and colors look exactly like David Fincher's work, which comes as no surprise as Kelly said he had no interest in making The Box, until he saw Fincher's Zodiac. Diaz and Mardsen both give subtle, believable performances which I was surprised to enjoy as I don't particularly like either of the stars' work.
While not perfect, The Box held my interest and intrigued me with it's bizarre setup and storytelling.
