3:47 "No, YOU look inside, BITCH!!!" lol

even funnier, when the dude presses his face up to the lens and waits for nothing to happen... she punches the box right into his face! LOL god that's classic... now go watch my short, "The Water Softener"

yeah it says that in his synopsis of the clip

Very studenty indeed, but excellent. I think the end was just great, with the overlaying faces, flickering images & ticking into the end. Really well done, I have to say the sound effect you chose sort of made it. The Nightmare Box was, for sure, my favourite short story in Haunted.

amen.

The props are crappy looking. The description of the box in the book was plain black and shiny. Not that the movie has to be the same but at least not some simple dragon design with a blue ugly pinhole. The clip was boring...had to fast forward.

one of my favorite stories out of that book.

I have to agree with giggan1, the mystery what you saw was one of the best parts but anyway I loved it.

(I've been browsing videos that has something to do with any of chuck's books and this is the first one I actually watched)

not original. chuck palahniuk wrote this in his book Haunted

[giggan1]

It was well lit, cinematographed, however, the pace was incredibly slow and nothing unique was introduced. I think it was a little 'spoiling' to physically show what would be in the box. The mystery is what drove the story.
