The Box of Delights (1984)
Member Rating:
The British made-for-TV production The Box of Delights begins during the Christmas season, when young Devin Stanfield returns home from boarding school.

Whatever magical powers the box possesses are coveted by evil Robert Stephens, who'll stop at nothing -- including kidnapping -- to get what he wants.
