The Blair Witch Project meets YouTube.
— Brian Miller, Seattle Weekly

Will the housebound trio watch the events unfold or do something about it? Clues can be found in each of the four rooms that may lead to a physical address. Of course, that’s when any clear-headed person would make the right choice, but therein lies the root of the tension that makes this simple thriller so effective. And once you think you have it all figured out, you don’t. This is the beauty of Four Boxes, it keeps you watching much like the web show entrancing the characters in the film… or is this about… us? The millions of internet viewers easily entertained by gruesome events not affecting themselves. More thrillers like this one please!

‘Four Boxes’ explores the permeable boundaries between real life and events being shown on the Web. This one’s interesting, folks.

This is writer/director Wyatt McDill’s first film and he’s come up with a unique script and paired it with a talented and charismatic cast. Half the fun of Four Boxes is in figuring out what it’s about. Maybe it’s a relationship drama. Two buddies have their friendship tested when one steals the other’s girl, gets engaged to her, and then invites over to rub his pal’s nose in it. Or maybe it’s a thriller. Three people are trapped in a dead guy’s house and in the process of going through his junk discover really creepy stuff. Or maybe it’s a movie about internet obsession. A guy can’t take his eyes off a voyeuristic website showing a bomb maker who doesn’t know he’s being watched.

Four Boxes toys with the “there’s-someone-in-the-house!” genre in appealing, inventive ways.
