Plot
A woman named Moa is on vacation in the solitude of a cabin, on a small Island outside of Stockholm. One day when checking her fishing net, an old metal box is stuck in it.
Cast
Created by some folks involved in a few mid range horrors including a Puppet Master film.
Verdict
While out fishing on her little boat a woman pulls up an odd solid looking lockbox and brings it home but it doesn't take long before it begins to creep her out but surely she wouldn't open it, right?
At around the 10 minute mark its a fairly nifty little short with minimal cast and surprisingly high production values, it maintains suspense well and though the ending is not explained (At all) it's fairly memorable and competently done.
A Sweden/US collaboration it's one of those shorts that has you thinking but at the same time comes across a tad shallow.
Breakdown
+ Looks the part
- Endings a tad too ambiguous for my liking
Rants
I can confidently say that I wouldn't have waited like her and would likely have cracked it open within moments of getting it home out of sheer curiosity. However if a person started climbing out of a box little bigger than a football I'd have poked them back in with a broom, chained it back up, gift wrapped it and sent it to someone I don't like as a birthday present. Soooo yeah if you ever get an unexpected gift from me it might kill you #sorrynotsorry.
