This is a small B horror flick akin to the Wishmaster films. But the smaller scale of this film allows for just the creepiness of a clown demon has some effect, as opposed to trying for big scares and special effects. Don't expect big things from this film, including scares. But an interesting concept that was effectively made with just enough creep factor.

Casey (Ethan Taylor) has recently taken a job at a small English museum. He discovers a donated jack-in-the-box, the same we see kill a person in the opening scene. Not too hard to figure the rest. This is another creepy clown killer film with the clown being a demon. There is some background on Casey which was horribly written, they could have given us a better character. Lisa (Lucy-Jane Quinlan) was also a badly scripted character and other than the clown (Robert Nairne), those were the main players. Guide:f-word. No sex or nudity

I am a hugeeee scary clown fan and I can't tell you how many times I come across movies with amazing covers that turn out to be dog crap. Clown movies are staples of low budget, f grade acting, and terribly written atrocities. It seems for every decent one you have to dig through 5 terrible ones. For instance some of the better ones would have to be Drive Thru, Clown, Killer Klowns From Outerspace, Terrifier, and Haunt. Just to name a few. So where does Jack in the Box stand? I was actually quite shocked at the production value of this movie. The clown looks wonderful and the intricacies of the box itself. Although CGI in some spots. Looked really well done. This movie reminded me of Gremlin from 2017. In that it had a similar story line. And for me I also enjoyed that movie because it brought some new ideas and was pretty interesting to watch. Especially the twist at the end which I thought really made the movie. This one took some of those same principles but mixed it in with a clown and I for one am quite happy for the attempt. The back story of demon boxes and how something like this came to be. Although pretty far fetched is quite a fascinating piece of fiction. I really like how this thing thrives on it's victims and has to be passed along in order to stay alive. It's clear they at least had a foundation for the plot line of this movie. However I would argue I wish it contained a few more layers. At times we are left trying to put together the pieces and you can't help but notice that at it's core it's pretty one dimensional. There isn't really a pay off and the ending although alright, has been done many times before in similarly told stories. This movie also has several drawn on boring scenes. Not even important scenes that are critical to the progression of the film. More so just there to fill in the gaps and add some dialogue and character interaction. We have all seen this done countless times in movies that don't have much direction or a solid complex story that can keep things interesting. Nor do they really go out of there way to make you fall in love with any of these people to warrant such scenes. But when it counts they do give you just enough to keep watching. The death scenes aren't amazing. A lot of times you just see people being dragged into the box. I'm sure with a bigger budget we could have had some more glorified kills. However when that clown is walking around it is quite terrifying and I cannot credit them more with nailing the way he moves and breathes. Acting is fine in my opinion. Nobody took me out of the film nor did anyone go above and beyond. There are times where it isn't as strong as it could be. But I am not a stickler for this kind of stuff. As long as it isn't amateur hour. If you are a fan of creepy dolls or music boxes. Puzzles or clowns. Then this is a great movie to watch if you have nothing else to do. I would say the movie itself probably deserves a 4 in it's plot progression. But it gets another point for me because that clown was so well done.

A good movie, jack in the box A monster comes out of a box and swallows people but its end is very sad ..

This actually surprised me a little, for a low budget flick, the acting is top notch if you can get past the 'American' accent of the male protagonist, the story flows coherently,makes reasonable sense throughout,which builds nicely to the spooky moments. The 'Jack' character is admirby spooky and wonderfully acted out, not over used in any way, which can sometimes be a flaw in films of this ilk. overall, the film works well, which could be considered a triumph for the makers, as clearly the budget was minimal, yet that isn't always reflected in the end product. all plaudit to cast and crew, who have pulled one of the 'Holy Grails' of the filmmaking world. of making a solid film on a tiny budget.
