What's in the Box?

My son sent me this piece that samples SEVEN. “What’s in the Box??”

Which lead to our conversation/thoughts for the day:

Horror and thrillers are both about opening a box. In fact ALL drama is about that. If you don’t have a box or a door that needs to be opened, something is missing.

Horror though may be that you open the box at the beginning of the movie and then have to deal with the consequences. The Ring for example.

Thrillers you don’t open the box until the end; earlier you’re trying to figure out where the box might be and what’s in it. So What’s in the box?? IE Silence of the Lambs getting to the house at the end.

New wave of horror: They never opened the box. They’re dealing with the consequences of someone else’s fault/opening a box. Us – they’re dealing with a box someone else opened. So more on the edge of science fiction/institutional. Or no reason for the horror, so no one opened any box, horror just happens. . . 

Your thoughts?
