“The Box” (*1/2 out of four) was a curiously glum and flat psychodrama about a struggling actor (Andrew Ableson) who is haunted by a recurring dream that he is trapped in a house with impenetrable mirrors which causes him to psychologically and personally unravel. Writer/director Sasha Sibley works in a style that harks back to Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining” and Paul Anderson’s “Event Horizon” but it all adds up to……..nothing, since the central story and character are so uninvolving. By the way- this is not a remake of the 2009 James Marsden/Cameron Diaz thriller of the same name.
