Sadly Over-hyped

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

A man is wowed to have been given an old-fashioned Jack-in-the-box for free by a mysterious old lady, while his pretty blonde buxom wife is immediately creeped out by the thing and wants nothing to do with it. Soon after they go to bed and late in the night the man is awakened by the sound of something scuttling around the house. He heads downstairs and hears the cheery box's tune which almost seems to beckon him. He approaches it and abruptly vanishes in a big splatter of gore as something unseen and monstrous emerges from the box and drags him inside. Wifey soon comes looking for him and the box begins to play for her, and as she steps closer it springs open with one ghastly surprise that she'll never forget! It's a cool short but I must say it's been overrated. I liked it, it's very well presented and has a good spooky atmosphere and a suspenseful buildup to the guy being eaten alive and it goes out on a good scary macabre sight gag, but it's still hardly the most complex or disturbing horror short ever. It's a very straightforward start-to-finish jump-scare story and that's fine, but there are superior horror shorts out there, like the excellent "Terrifier" by Damien Leone to name but one. And this wasn't particularly representative of any old school horror to me, the only thing that did strongly remind me of something that I'd seen before was how the box was similar to the one from Demonic Toys, only that one was a lot more creepy! I wish in the part where the guy can hear something and he almost steps on the doll they could have shown the little clown from the empty box running around the floor or something, and they definitely should've shown some kind of giant monster clown chomping on the him for a moment, and at the end, when it shows the harmless-looking cute clown of the box, it should have winked! It would have made the fear factor of the short more effective.. It's a little short on content and feels a bit truncated and rushed, but this is a nice eerie little short that makes great use of a classic spooky plot device. And like a good horror movie, you kind of know how it's going to end up...but you love to watch anyway just to see how it's all gonna go down!

"Slash-in-the-Box" is a 5-minute short film from five years ago that was written and directed by Nick Everhart. It shows us the life of a couple and what happens when the man brings home a jack-in-the-box for whatever reason. Apparently, the little cube is cursed or something, or possessed with an evil spirit as it certainly has a life on its own and keeps wreaking havoc. It is a mix of comedy and horror, but I personally felt it does not turn out convincingly in either of these two areas. Plus the female actress was pretty bad and I wonder if she had any purpose really other than showing us her great looks and curves in her night outfit. The guy is slightly better, but also far from good enough to carry this little movie. I hope Everhart managed to improve in the five years since this was made, otherwise I cannot foresee a great character for him in the industry. As for this one here, I do not recommend the watch.

The short film is almost perfect!!! It has everything to be a great horror movie....And in just 5 minutes!!!! It's impossible!!! But you made it! The atmosphere was normal but disturbing. Is strange, is a normal house but anyway you can feel than something is not right. The sound is terrific!!! I loved the idea of not being able to see the little slayer and what happened with the body, but its sound made me nervous. And the cliché of the mirror was so cool! It has humor. That is important (I think so)because if you don't, the horror could be extremely disgusting. The movement of the head was perfect. I can't figured out how could it enter in the box, because the box looks smaller than the head. Never mind anyway. I didn't give 10 because it not scared me, and I didn't like the blood so much (I don't know why)and it disappears when the woman comes into the kitchen...for some reason... But it were only minor things. The final result is really wonderful. I never tire of seeing again and again. And every time I watch it I find a new detail to admire.

For a 5 minute feature, you get the initial feeling that you may be disappointed in how the horror is going to develop, but as soon as you hit play, Slash-in-the-Box delivers like a full length horror feature. Overall the film has an 80's, early 90's horror atmosphere to it and you can tell that's what the director was attempting to accomplish, despite the very modern surroundings. The pacing was surprisingly good, considering there was only 5 minutes to progress the plot in. The acting was another plus. The actors did a great job of making their characters believable in the short amount of time they were on screen. The title object was also a great, creepy pick on the director's behalf. He's got the evil clown thing nailed. All in all, if you want a great five minutes of good, old fashioned horror, then Slash-in-the-Box is a great pick.
