The latest released Finger Movies production is an excercise in genre-busting.

Having done drama, action, scifi, mystery, documentary, and what not, the Finger chaps are now entering the dark world of horror. And we don’t mean cheap, flashy splatter, either. (That is mainly because of the budget, or rather, the lack thereof, but that is really besides the point.)

The Box is classic psychological terror, albeit with a twist. Money, greed, and a mysterious stranger are all involved. And some black goo. Can’t have a horror movie without black goo.

The moral of the story? As our favourite literal character, Jerry Cotton, used to say: “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”

N.B. This is not a silent movie. We are just having some codec problems. There will be sound sometime soon.
