"Fear... Paranoia... Suspicion... Desperation"

Cube (1997)
Directed by Vincenzo Natali, rated R, 90 minutes

Cube
is a fascinating, bizarre and gripping sci-fi film about seven strangers who wake up in a weird puzzle, made up of a series of identical, room-sized cubes, some containing deadly traps. The premise is brilliant and so is the execution, delivering a mysterious and riveting story that makes you feel like you're in the puzzle with them. The film is really low-budget, but you can hardly tell with the adequate special effects, surprisingly good acting (especially from sci-fi hero David Hewlett) and the genius story. Cube is a frightening, claustrophobic and extremely entertaining psychological thriller that will suck you in and take you on an odd and disturbing journey. You'll like it if: You like survival movies, movies about puzzles, sci-fi horror movies, Saw, Primer or Predator.
