What was interesting about this film is that it is loosely based on the crimes of serial killer, David Parker Ray, a rapist, murderer, kidnapper and torturer of women (although murder was never proven but suspected). In this way, the plot was by no means original. The Toybox (2018) follows the same premise of the vehicle terrorizing a group of people. We have seen many films in the past that revolve around possessed machines such as Maximum Overdrive who’s antagonist was a truck and Christine who’s antagonist was a sedan. The premise of a possessed RV is quite comical. The more disturbing scenes will be from anticipated and suspenseful scenes where you’re waiting for something to happen rather than the explicit gore scenes. But as the film focuses on the terrors of the RV, the deaths are more focused on disasters from the vehicle itself. The most grotesque scene is when you see one of the girls scalped. There are some bloody scenes in The Toybox. With nowhere to go, the family must try to survive the terrors from this RV. Soon, the family starts to discover the dark secrets behind the RV as the vehicle is causing members of the group to die. While the group is traveling, the RV itself, takes control of the vehicle and causes the vehicle to crash leaving the group stranded in the middle of nowhere. On their way, the family picks up two other people whose car had broken down.
