Bloody Disgusting

The Toybox remains decidedly and disappointingly tame, despite its wild concept.

Rated: 2/5

Dread Central

A certain degree of camp should probably accompany a premise like this but the story here is actually surprisingly vicious and morose at times, delivering a tone of inevitable and inescapable doom.

Rated: 2.0

Cinema Crazed

While the film's story may seem ridiculous at first, it works really well and brings forth the talent of those involved in creating a film that is suspenseful and easy to watch.

Rated: 3.5/5

Might have made for some minor grubby fun -- maybe as filler between films at a horror-themed festival -- but as a full length film, it is little more than a joke and not an especially inspired one at that.

The Toybox is a tense indie horror film that combines ghostly thrills with a claustrophobic setting.

Rated: 7/10

Film Freak Central

I say this but it's sort of funny when something is this not-funny. Also funny is the way The Toybox shoehorns in a few dad-in-a-chimney Gremlins monologues for bizarrely-pitched pathos.

Rated: 1.5/4

Absolutely terrible. The only good thing is how handsome Brian Nagel is. Other than that, it's garbage.

This is worse acting than in The Room except there are some actors of note involved(that could be overstating their abilities, I guess). Then there’s the plot, camera work, lighting, everything wrong with the movie. Spectacularly terrible movie.

Horrible screenplay Very Bad acting , losing a child yet being sad for a minute or two, bizarre preventable deaths , awful plot, bad acting , bad acting , if the RV is haunted get the f out as Eddy Murphy would say - picking knives etc up without any gloves , bad acting on every single aspect - I want my 90+ min back please - whomever invested in this movie and acted in it should never be awarded a role again due to the horrendouS acting , yes I said bad acting numerous times :-) Denise i expected so much more of you - you have become a E- actress - talk to your agent and reset before picking up acting as a serious job again same goes to all other actors except for the little girl she did an excellent job for her age !

The toybox is the lowest of the lowest. This movie is probably the most pathetic movie I have ever watched. It's literally filmed in the same spot and doesn't go anywhere. The movie and the motor home definitely have something in common. They both clunked out. 😂 I gave up watching about 40% of the movie. I fast forward to see if the movie picked up, or went anywhere. Sadly, it didn't. I don't recommend this movie. I expected more ghostly feels, screaming, running, haunting feelings, but it failed to deliver. And failed to keep my attention.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Absolutely one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I had high expectations when I saw Denise Richards and Mischa Barton in it. They could have came up with a much better plot line based on the true story that actually happened. The film could had some potential but was not done well. People were dying left and right and there was pretty much no reaction by any characters. There was probably only about 5 minutes total involving the "killer" scenes. I'd rather watch a documentary on this, and I now know to research a movie before spending the time to actually watch it. Lesson learned.
