Black Box

A good thriller movie with new story. But there is nothing horror in this movie. Movie is bit slow but not boring. Climax was not that good and could have been improved.

If you like Black Mirror you'll probably enjoy this. Wouldn't classify this as horror but more sci-fi, drama. The acting is superb.

I put an * because I was wide awake at 2:00am and I needed something to watch. I saw Blumhouse and I saw Phylicia Rashad and I thought ok, lets do.

I was pulled in from the beginning and was interested in trying to figure out what was wrong with this guy. By the time the "twist" happened, I had figured out most of it, but I still couldn't turn away and wanted to see how it ended. I thought overall the movie was satisfying. If you're a perfectionist, I probably wouldn't bother with this because the writing was a little choppy and you might have to suspend disbelief to suspend disbelief, but it's really not a bad flick.

The rating almost turned me off this movie. But with nothing better to do I have it a go. It was a solid phycological thriller, amazing acting and a good twist. Give it a go

'Black Box (2020)' follows a man who, following a near-fatal car crash, undergoes an experimental procedure in an attempt to cure his amnesia. It's a bit of an unbalanced blend between sci-fi and horror, bouncing between its genres rather than embodying them simultaneously. Still, both aspects are pulled off pretty well and the overall result is an entertaining experience throughout. It's a bit of a puzzle-box piece. As it progresses, its layers slowly get peeled back; in fact, the entire thing gets turned on its head around halfway through. It's engaging and interesting, a relatively complex story that keeps you invested throughout. Though some of its pseudo science does come across as a tad silly, the flick has a solid emotional centre that keeps things grounded and resonant. Though it isn't all that memorable in the long run, it's a surprising and ever-evolving affair that's enjoyable throughout. 7/10
