Nightmare on Film Street

The Jack in the Box winds up being a very been-there-done-that sort of movie that mimes more than innovates.

Rated: 7/10

Lucy Buglass

The Horrorcist

Lawrence Fowler's fun, freaky take on the 'creepy doll' narrative is definitely worth a watch, but it doesn't do anything extraordinary. It's a nice popcorn film to enjoy on a cold, winter's afternoon, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Rated: 3/5

Spectrum Culture

Murder clowns and demonic toys have enjoyed a renaissance in recent years, but in combining the two, The Jack in the Box offers no surprises.

Rated: 1.75/5

Everything that happens in the movie is as inevitable as the jack popping out of the box at the end of "Pop Goes the Weasel."

Flickering Myth

The Jack In The Box boasts a righteous concept, better "exhibit of the cursed" appeal, but doesn't deliver horror's next "killer object that should not be" classic.

Rated: 2.5/5

The monster design is good and some of the action scenes are set up well, with a bit more money and some faster pacing, The Jack In the Box could of really given us something exciting, although it never quite gets there.

Rated: 5/10

This is probably the only way a "Jack In The Box" movie could be made for adults to somewhat enjoy during October. It's definitely an interesting take on a seemingly fun yet terrifying old school children's toy, especially making it the primary focus of the film. I believe this will probably the best adaption of a "Jack In The Box" movie we'll ever have so I'll give it that. Production is what makes this movie bearable and I'd give production quality 4 stars if I could. It's worth a watch if you haven't seen it. As of this review there are 2 more parts to this franchise (who couldn't see that coming after this release in 2019?).

Pensa num filme fraco, uma tentativa fracassada de criar algo minimamente bom, uma roteiro ruim acompanhado de uma direção medíocre, atuação terrível e uma ideia interessante mas mal executada, resumindo um péssimo filme.

Utterly abysmal. The acting is dreadful for a start, and plot holes galore. As soon as the ‘High Fliers’ logo came up at the beginning I knew it’d be rubbish.

Genuinely one of the most boring horror movies I've watched. The CGI, acting and plot isnt very good... the gore makeup is very clearly makeup. :/ Just reall low bugeted, it not really worth watching.

They spent so much money on the box and Jack's costume itself that even the writing was cheap. :[

The idea is good, but there is a lack of important elements to make it more entertaining.
