Ok. So for the past two days I have been trying to take it easy. Ive been feeling my yearly dose of strep throat coming on and I have tried to avoid it. In doing so, I stumbled across one of the movies I had bought from Blockbuster when it was going out of business. I have a problem because I went back every week and bought 3-7 dvd's at a time as the price dropped....some of which I had never seen before but I used the "its only 3$" rationale. The movie I want to talk about is just one of those purchases.
The Box
Has anyone else seen this movie and walk away going "what the hell did I just watch"? My Child Psych professor from last semester had talked about this movie in terms of the experiment being conducted. I would add in spoiler alert here...but honestly if you havnt seen the movie...it may not be worth it. I was intrigued by the whole concept of the human race killing each other for money. Weird stuff like that interests me...how could someone do that!? But that wasnt what got me. No. It was the aliens they had to add into the movie (or at least thats what I think they were). As I was explaining it to my mom and aunt last night they looked at me like I was crazy...because it didnt make sense. Thats basically how I watched this movie...waiting for answers. No. It was just a creepy half-faced man, a box, aliens (?), water and some ending that just didnt make sense.
I want to say that maybe I should watch it again...see if it makes more sense. Or if I should ask my film savvy friends (JOEY) to explain this movie to me. Either way...it pretty much confirmed that even when I know very little about a movie...I have the ability to pick some awful ones out.
I also bought the Last Exorcism...we will see how THAT one goes.
