Review of The Box

The Box (I) (2009)
Story from 80's Twilight Zone episode
29 October 2009
Warning: Spoilers
This is a remake of a short story from the eighties version of the TWILIGHT ZONE. It starred Mare Winningham(St Elmos Fire) and Brad Davis(Midnight Express). In that story a man delivers a box to their house and tells them they can get a million dollars if the push the button on the box. He tells them that if they push the button it will end the life of someone they don't know. Brad fights the urge and says it isn't right to end someones life even for money. Mare is a bitch who cares for no one and finally does the deed. The man shows up soon after and delivers them the dirty money. Brad leaves her and Mare is left alone. When asked who will get the box next, the man says it will be given to someone that she doesn't know. Leaving you of course knowing that the next person who gets that box might be choosing to end her life. The television episode was only15 minutes and did a great job. I can't believe that they would make a theatrical film about it, what else can be said?
