Hi, thanks for the comment. You can keep it up it’s fine. Look, I’ll level with you but you don’t have to believe me. Until people started mentioning it I had NOT seen this before. Yeah it’s hard to believe but the similarities are only vague at best.
The guy in the box? Mine is totally different. The one in the film is a an almost human looking person. The box gets dropped off by a friend and there is a phone conversation between them & what not.
I can see why people think it was inspiration, but it wasn’t. Just some coincidence. Regardless, most work these days are based off of something or inspired by something so I can see why people would think it was. I was more inspired by HP Lovecraft & Tim Burton than anything else.
