A finally got around to seeing this! Definitely one I would have enjoyed more as a kid I feel. The final part of the film is good as the kid fends off the burglars with home made traps. Just a bit of a slow build up until then.

Inside The Cube
Cube- holy shit this movie was good, i liked it alot. I never seen it before, but heard about it. I heard many things about it, like it was a cult classic, a great twisted psycholgoical horror film and has traps. Than i was confused because i thought their were talking about Saw, the first one. Nope their are two different movies but about the same thing basically. Saw is also a cult classic, a great twisted psychological horror film and has traps. So thats aint cofusing at all.

The Plot: Without remembering how they got there, several strangers awaken in a prison of cubic cells, some of them booby-trapped. There's onetime cop Quentin (Maurice Dean Wint), scientist Holloway (Nicky Guadagni), young math genius Leaven (Nicole de Boer), master of escapes Rennes (Wayne Robson), autistic savant Kazan (Andrew Miller) and architect Worth (David Hewlett), who might have more information on the maze than he lets on. The prisoners must use their combined skills if they are to escape.

Its a cult classic and must watch horror film.

I was expecting more...
I love the saw series but when they came out with this one, I was expecting more from it. It had the gore and the traps and suspense like the others but lacked the story line that the others had. Maybe they will build from this one?

Original Horror
Before the death traps and gore of the Saw films we had this. Quite low budget and that went under the radar somewhat, but if you enjoy quirky Horror films with a puzzle element this is for you.

This short story can be downloaded for free from Reilly's website and it's well worth doing. This is typical Reilly condensed into a short story. All the standard thrills are here: mystery, traps, chases and incredible escapes. All at the usual high speed and full throttle.

There really isn't anyone who does blockbuster action thrillers better.

What happens when you take 6 strangers, put them in a box, made of lots of other little boxes? Madness of course. Throw in some deadly traps, warped personalities and an interesting cast, you have yourselves pandemonium. A typical 90s dark movie, but worth the watch... always a good go to movie for a 90s film night!

Original concept
Gets a bit preachy (0 more)
Before Saw and Hostel conjured up the term "torture porn" and it was rammed home with each sequel, a little Canadian film called Cube came out to little fanfare in 1997.

Made for a mere $400,000 dollars and with a lot of the special effects provided by local Canadian companies for free.
It is a simple yet ingenious premise, six strangers awaken in series of cube like rooms no recollection of how they got there or even why they are there. It also seems some of the rooms contain traps.
The tense and almost claustrophobic surroundings force both friendships and mistrust in equal measure.
The characters are well rounded and deliver believable performances of people trapped against their will, for the most part. There is a one point I disliked that felt too preachy but I did like the character.
The other thing I enjoyed was the forced interaction between the main protagonists because while there are traps this isn't some Saw film, the traps are present but just to provide the threat of one false move. I would even argue that at times the traps don't provide much of a threat but the "silent cube" really rings every drop of tension out of that scene.

The most interesting thing I found was that some people criticized the ending. Yes by the end not everything is explained, there is a lot of questions left unanswered and this is a good thing.
Why must we have everything explained? Leave thinking and wondering. Director Vincenzo Natali did film a longer ending and it was the first thing he cut.
