Inspired by the existential dread of 'Black Mirror,' THE BOX explores the themes of agency and simulated reality. By utilizing AI-generated visuals, the film intentionally leans into the 'uncanny valley' to mirror the protagonist's own realization that his world is a digital construct. The final twist serves as a commentary on our own consumption of media and the voyeurism of digital suffering.
