    Not a good story movie

    Not a good movie to watch for especially the director and writer have nothing to tell in this movie the movie is totally wasted the actors are all totally wasted.

    Horror made by an amateur

    Poor poor poor and poor in every way. The script is boring, obviously written by an amateur. The acting is very bad, overacting in a very bad way. The actors are the worst, can't be any worse.

    seems like seven is a lucky number...

    In this british jack the box horror flick, written and directed by mr fowler that has fumbled a whole lot on the plot speed, the filmographic brightness gives vibes of 1980's bbc studio tv theater, but thats merely it on the downside.

    Its quite good acted, small cast,good screaming, enerving score and sound effects and few sets, light and shadow work are impeccable, and the jack in the box is quite enerving and well acted and styled non-vfx/cgi, the horror segments makes you feel quite uncomfortable and there are a pretty lot of them throughout the screening, so if your nerves are bleeched and your heart faintful, then a small warning to you.

    So if you have a tendency towards jacks in a box stories with an alternative clutch on the straw then this might be IT. Of course you couldve written a better screenplay than this you might think, but the grumpy old man , who has shown quite some grit towards british low budget horrorfilmaking may give a recommend to this one.

    Amazing horror movie

    I really liked the movie especially i didn't see the first movie but this one took my attention from the beginning to the end, i liked the Edgar acting he was the best in the movie.

    Lets hope this is the last one...

    I saw the first Jack in the box, and it holds two things I'm scared of. Clowns and a Jack in the box. Hated those things since childhood. Just the music the box makes gives me the creeps. While this movie is creepy...it just wasn't scary. The filming location for this movie was excellent and the manor and the grounds were beautiful. I thought the acting was good as well, but the plot was just like the last movie, kill 6 people to obtain a wish. Two movies like this should be the limit. I don't think this same plot will work a third tine. It's hard to believe they even gave it the green light for a second movie. Peace.

      The curse calls for six victims. A box has six sides.
    • Goofs
      When Amy makes her move, before she say checkmate, you can see the whole board. And her move did not put Frank in checkmate, only in check, (his knight could clearly hinder her attack).
