The Box Is Panned

Cameron Diaz's new film The Box has been voted one of the worst films of all time by moviegoers - just days after its U.S. release.
 
The thriller, based on Richard Matheson' 1970 short story Button, Button, has been panned by film buffs in America, with officials at CinemaScore, who monitor fan reaction to movies, giving the flop an F rating - the lowest score possible.

A small wooden box arrives on the doorstep of a married couple, who know that opening it will grant them a million dollars and kill someone they don't know.
 
Company boss Ed Mintz says, "People really thought this was a stinker."
 
Mintz rates the film as the fourth least popular this decade, behind 2006 horror Bug, Wolf Creek in 2005 and Darkness, which came out in 2002.

The film's release was originally scheduled for July but was pushed back to November, it's yet to be released in the UK.
