Gamebox 1.0 is a 2004 film starring Nate Richert and Danielle Fishel, about a video game that traps the player inside it when played.

It was directed by the brothers David and Scott Hillenbrand, who wrote the screenplay with Patrick Casey and Worm Miller.

The game draws on his memories, so the heroine is modeled after his dead girlfriend (Danielle Fishel), and the villain is the dirty cop (Patrick Kilpatrick) who murdered her.

In an interview with the Daily Bruin, Fishel noted that this required that she and the other actors rely on each other and their own imaginations since "[they] spent four weeks, 14 to 18-hour days surrounded by neon green paint.

But if you're a hardcore video game junkie and you've got a soft spot for scrappy little indie flicks, I'd call Gamebox 1.0 worthy of the rental fee.
