The Box
“You are the experiment.”
Norma and Arthur Lewis, a suburban couple with a young child, receive a simple wooden box as a gift, which bears fatal and irrevocable consequences. A mysterious stranger delivers the message that the box promises to bestow upon its owner $1 million with the press of a button. However pressing this button will simultaneously cause the death of another human being somewhere in the world; someone they don't know. With just 24 hours to have the box in their possession, Norma and Arthur find themselves in the cross-hairs of a startling moral dilemma and must face the true nature of their humanity.
A creeping dread permeates this retro sci-fi thriller, forcing a deep dive into moral compromise and the dark corners of human nature. It's a tense, unsettling experience, wrapped in a stylized, paranoid atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll, questioning the price of desire.
