A-
"The Box" is the best episode so far, building up layers of key characterizations and adding important plot beat without sacrificing the tension and texture it's worked hard to create. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico New York Magazine/Vulture 08/03/2018
3/5
The storytelling this week is often a bit clunky, and the episode ends with a disturbing workplace massacre that doesn't really fit the tone of the show, but the performances are still keeping Castle Rock relatively grounded ... for now. Go to Full Review Sean T. Collins Rolling Stone 08/03/2018
OK, so Castle Rock isn't strictly a case of art imitating life. But its very good fourth episode - "The Box" - contains enough real-world ugliness to make the supernatural stuff almost superfluous. Go to Full Review Noetta Harjo Geek Girl Authority 11/07/2018
'm starting to think that Alan isn't telling the whole story...and neither is Ruth. This is just getting better. Go to Full Review Kristy Strouse Film Inquiry 08/06/2018
In comparison, The Box might have been a slower burn than the previous three, but no less crucial. Castle Rock, I'm at your disposal, do with me as you wish. Go to Full Review Zach Dionne Decider 08/03/2018
As countless Stephen King characters have learned, this is the part of the story where reality, and whatever's lurking on the other side, hobbles optimism with a sledgehammer. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
