Name: Jack in the Box
Genre: Horror
Duration: 1 h 28 min
Cast: Lynn Guerra, Nathaniel Sylva, Cassandra Federman

Saw this movie via an online film festival (where it later won top prize) came to IMDb to learn more and was surprised to read the previous review. 

While I agree "Jack in the Box" was likely shot on a very thin budget, I disagree with most everything else. I may be old-school when it comes to horror, but I actually appreciated the simplicity of the concept and its clever execution. No unveiling, no message, no moral? Fine with me. Given the setup (to say more would spoil it) I preferred not having all the answers wrapped with a tidy bow. And what true horror buff goes looking for messages and morals anyway? It's worth noting that if you're a fan of splatter, this is not the film for you-- its interest trends toward the psychological rather than blood and gore.

I've seen lots of horror flicks over the years and while "Jack in the Box" may not make the list of the truly great ones, I certainly can appreciate what these filmmakers and actors attempted, and for-the-most-part accomplished, in one small space in a very short time.
