The Box, a Twilight Zone episode remake from Donnie Darko director Richard Kelly, comes to DVD and Blu-ray for the simple purpose of confusing people in their own homes. James Marsden, Cameron Diaz and Frank Langella star in this 1970s period mind-bender about a moral dilemma and the consequences that follow. The package I reviewed contained both the DVD and Blu-ray in a 2-disc combo pack, which is great if you have a DVD player now but plan to upgrade, but seems a little redundant for someone who already owns a Blu-ray player. (But hey, it was nice to have both for the review.)
