[It] teeters uncomfortably between psychological horror and supernatural hoo-hah for much of its running time and finally settles on the hoo-hah.

Lockbox bounds through plot developments without any sense of stakes or purpose, with a smattering of haphazard paint-by-numbers jump scares.

What’s left is a movie with few discernible stakes and little sense. It should have stayed a podcast.

Incoherent, annoying, and not very scary, Lockbox is a botched horror movie about demon possession, with a story that lurches and lumbers until trying to cram in an unconvincing showdown at the end.

2/5

Nothing here is particularly atmospheric or provocative, a genre hybrid that ultimately falters in its effort to honor storytelling traditions that are often in conflict.

The movie was ok, took a long time to get to the point of what was going on.

A great actress in a mediocre film it happens. There were some cool shots so I can appreciate certain efforts. Low budget doesn’t always mean it’s a bad movie but in this case everything just seems to fall flat.

Lame version of Bring Her Back: Carla Gugino can't be in every horror scene. She really drives the plot forward, but the rest of the film drags with dull moments. The ending was pretty disappointing, and it took forever to finally reach the solution.

This low budget indie horror movie is made better by the performances. The actors elevate the script, making it watchable if not particularly memorable.
