The Divrei
Navon Pop Media Series : Vol. 5 / “The Box” – Man in the hands of the Devil |
||||
“The
Box” is a horror film in the true sense of the word for it provides a look at
man from the horrifying perspective of the Devil. Completely bloodless, the
tension is developed in Hitchcock-like fashion, building on the fears of our
own psyche. The plotline follows the
moral dilemma placed before one couple and the consequences their actions
have on themselves and all of humanity.
Laden with deep symbolism and references to myth, classical literature
and the Bible, this film provides invaluable insights into the human
condition. The film’s ultimate message
is perhaps best summed up by the character Arlington Steward, “if you human
beings are unable or unwilling to sacrifice individual desires for the
greater good of your species, you have no chance for survival.” ![]() |
