Richard Kelly's "The Box" didn't do very well in theaters this weekend, but one can only assume why. Was it the strong competition, or the fact that the "push button for money" concept has been done a million times?
The "Twilight Zone" has done it and a group of amateur Australian filmmakers have it done it as well. Their 2007 film, called "Black Button" was made for $200 and without knowledge of Richard Matheson's short story that inspired "The Box" and the "Twilight Zone" episode.
"Black Button" is only seven-minutes, has almost 1.5 million views on YouTube, and provides a clever twist to the famous concept. It won a few short film awards and was one of the top six finalists for Best Short Film during the 2007 YouTube Awards. Check it out below.
