StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Asten Culloski As far as clichés go, Slash-in-the-Box has them all: possessed toys, ball bouncing down stairs, hot female lead, wise-ass male lead, clowns, overly- curious characters, and wondering a dark house at night (though they actually turned a light on which is unheard of). There were a couple clever scenes but aside from that there's not much to be gained from watching this. A couple jumpscares might get you here and there but personally I loath jumpscares and think they're very short- lasting and uncreative ways to scare your audience. The gore wasn't too overdone, as I would've expected it to be in such a cliché of a short. Overall it wasn't bad though, the cinematography, acting and special effects were actually really good, the story and idea itself were just very dull and the methods to convey said story and idea were way too cliché for my liking.

matthrst I hated the Jack-In-The Box as a Kid! This is another reason why! Thanks Again to Nick Everhart for the Nightmares Once More!Nick takes you to the dark-place and leaves you there to die! I originally thought this would be awesome as a full length movie. However,Nick goes right for your throat and rips off your head w/out the filler. Actually, it is very Hitchcock meets Stephen King. Alfred Hitchcock with the build of suspense and little blood. Stephen King(ish) taking the simpler things that everyone can relate to and turns it up and out! It is Best Watched Alone, Lights Off and Doors Locked if you dare!I Hate the Jack-in-the-Box! I Love Slash-in-the-Box! And I Hate Nick Everhart for having me revisit my Childhood Nightmares! It is a must view for every horror fan!

myserenity101 This is definitely one of the higher quality film-shorts that I have seen in a long time. Very well done with a professional polish and it actually got me a couple of times. Great editing, HD quality, and creepy camera angles help make Slash-In-The-Box stand out from other random run-of-the mill shorts.I especially enjoyed the "mirror" sequence, that one definitely gave me a start. While I felt the "mess" left behind from the first victim (trying to avoid any real spoilers here) was a bit over the top, it certainly didn't take anything away.If you're looking for something a little different that dishes up some clever fun with an old toy, then be sure and take a few minutes out of your day to give this one a watch.

AmblinRules Most horror shorts show their low budget with bad lighting, poor acting, and/or cheap effects.Slash-In-The-Box wins on all fronts. At five minutes, it runs the risk of being too long for a "hit viral video" but the pacing is excellent, and it never feels like it's dragging. The actors look great, the cinematography is beautiful, and while the jump scares may not work as well as the director probably imagines, the last shot is the payoff that the entire piece builds toward, and it works wonderfully. In fact, I'm not sure how they did it, but it's a neat bit of effects magic.This is a perfect example of a simple concept executed extremely well. The director and his team (including Producer/DP Leigh Scott of Transmorphers infamy) come from a sordid history of terrible DTV schlock, but they seems to be making up for it here. Can't wait to see what else these filmmakers have up their sleeves.
