Four Boxes (2009)

In a dead man’s destroyed suburban house, three friends get dangerously hooked on a surveillance-cam website: fourboxes.tv. If fourboxes.tv isn’t just total bull-crap, someone, somewhere, doesn’t know they’re being watched as they hatch a plot to wipe out America. Like The Usual Suspects, or Memento, Four Boxes thrills and twists 'til the very last frame, …picture file, …whatever… In Four Boxes, nothing is what it seems.

Four Boxes is part thriller, part dark comedy, part social satire - a 2009 South-by-Southwest Film Festival selection starring Justin Kirk (Weeds), Terryn Westbrook (Inland Empire), and Sam Rosen (Stuck Between Stations), and featuring a soundtrack with music by Caribou, Mice Parade, and The Album Leaf.
