Needle (2010)

Two years after his father's death, Ben receives the last of his estate.  It's a mysterious box with no  instructions and no one can figure out what it does.  Shortly after his estranged brother Marcus shows up, the box disappears.  Then Ben's friends start to die.

The box turns out to be Le Vaudou Mort, an 18th century box which contains voodoo dolls and is rumored to have supernatural powers.  Now they need to track down the person who stole it and is using it to kill his friends.

While a death box could have been an interesting idea, since how do you catch a killer who never  is in the vicinity of the victims, the movie is fairly bland.  I found my mind starting to wander and didn't care much about what happened.
