Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Vomitron_G The version I saw of this film, was called "The Killing Box" and this film had a whole damn lot of potential, but sadly isn't as great as it could've been. A civil-war movie mixed with a supernatural theme and a most peculiar cast (Adrian Pasdar, Corbin Bernsen, Ray Wise, Billy Bob Thornton, Martin Sheen, David Arquette, Matt LeBlanc,...). It really is a challenge spotting all of them. It's also hard to pinpoint where exactly the movie comes short. The flaws are there, I just can't really pinpoint them. Apparently a lot of the movie ended on the cutting room floor in post-production, so that could explain quite a bit. But there seems to be a director's cut with a much longer running time out there, under the name "Ghost Brigade". In this version the main characters have a lot more depth and should be more interesting. Even the unstoppable ghost brigade should have much more screen time and background-story in this longer version. So someone release this director's cut version on DVD, and I just might pick it up.

texasjoe48 I love historical pieces, and this one took what could have been a good premise, and it went south in a hurry. Sorry guys. It was just too weird to follow, or enjoy past the first 20 minutes. The acting wasn't so bad, but the script suffered in the editing. The Civil War has so many interesting TRUE stories on both the Union, and Confederate battlefields. (With brother sometimes fighting brother, and whole families torn apart by the fight.) Also, although slavery was the big issue, the issue of "state's rights," and the Kansas-Nebraska Act tore the south in half. In Texas, many people such as Sam Houston preached against succession from the Union in the Texas Senate. His Governorship was stripped away from him, and he was branded a "Unionist" the rest of his life. Many counties voted against succession, but when the final vote was taken, then militias were raised to meet the call for war. Now there are many stories just right there that would be worth telling, instead of some weird voodoo tale that blames slavery on the south that had a good majority that were against slavery. Churches formed anti-slavery societies called TABOR. So let us try to do better stories worth telling, instead of a bunch of weird mess that stirs up a bunch of hatred, and misunderstanding of a great part of American history...

arkanis50 Set during the American civil war, The Killing Box tells the tale of a Union expedition sent to discover the fate of a group of Union soldiers slaughtered in bizarre circumstances. As the film progresses, it becomes evident that this slaughter isn't just an isolated incident, but rather a series of mass murders of both Union and Confederate soldiers. To complicate the expedition, the Union soldiers have to rely on the aid of a captured Union defector to help investigate the incident. Who or what can be responsible for these grizzly deaths? The Killing Box takes a fairly well-worn horror/supernatural concept, but turns the concept around by putting the film in the unique setting of the American civil war. The film and its concept had me hooked for the first fifteen minutes, although my attention began to slip away a bit from that point on once the "enemy" was revealed. Quite frankly, the "enemy" were very hokey, and didn't instill any real fear or suspense into the story. I've seen actors at a horror-themed dinner theatre inspire more terror than what the Union soldiers faced in The Killing Box.Overall The Killing Box tried to be an interesting war/horror hybrid, but fell short of the mark.5/10

Infofreak I didn't expect all that much watching 'The Killing Box', but was surprised at just how involving and interesting this Civil War zombie tale turned out to be. Corbin Bernsen ('L.A. Law') and Adrian Pasdar ('Near Dark') co-star as former friends turned enemies who have to join together to hunt down a mysterious group of renegade soldiers. Ray Wise ('Twin Peaks') is fine as a hard-ass Colonel, and the supporting cast includes Martin Sheen, Billy Bob Thornton and a couple of Arquettes. The film is not without a few flaws, which presumably are from post-production editing (a director's cut under the title 'Ghost Brigade' is apparently available), but overall this is an effective and atmospheric thriller that is well worth tracking down.
