LOL, a simple scroll through the Film Discussion pages would have revealed the original thread somewhere on page 3. Sometimes the search isn't conclusive enough, especially when the film title contains only 2 three letter words, sorry.
Anyway, have merged, would have done so earlier, but got caught up reading the entire Bruno thread again, LOL!

All joking aside, how anyone could deliberately cause the death of another human being, even if they don't know them, is beyond me.

For those who asked earlier, it's based on an old Twilight Zone episode which I think in turn was based on a short story (although I think the new film has been changed slightly from the original premise)

It could be an interesting film (unless the twist at the end gets out and ruins the whole film) but it's a surprising choice for the director, Richard Kelly, seeing as he did a film like Donnie Darko (and at least tried to do something original with his second film) I didn't expect him to go off and do something as fairly conventional as The Box.
