Description
From SOMEWHERE IN TIME to I AM LEGEND, writer Richard Matheson's tales have frequently made their way to the screen, and this adaptation of his story "Button, Button" is no exception. Richard Kelly (DONNIE DARKO) directs Cameron Diaz and James Marsden in this horror film about a couple who find a box that has power over life and death.

"Kelly returns to his DONNIE DARKO roots by depicting an all-American family succumbing to paranormal forces, with several nods to the styles and sounds of the epoch."New York Times:
11/06/2009
"[S]inister and serious....As in his earlier films, he is again using genre (and pretty actors) as a vehicle to ask questions about the human condition (and conditioning)..."A.V. Club:

"[The actors] convey real warmth as the financially overextended central couple....It's an unwieldy, ambitious, one-of-a-kind film waiting for a cult to find it." — Grade: BTotal Film:

3 stars out of 5 — "Style-wise, the writer/director effectively ticks off the key fantasy, sci-fi and horror elements of the film's major influence THE TWILIGHT ZONE..."Empire:
05/01/2010
4 stars out of 5 — "[The film] is as beguiling as it is confounding, as haunting as it is morose....It escapes conventional confines and snakes into sci-fi..."
