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.

Good short season, with a slight dip at the end

I started to watch this because people at work were talking about it, I'd never read the book so had no concept of the story or characters. Once I started watching episode 1 I was hooked and would find myself just letting another episode start even though it was way passed midnight!

I think The Stranger does keep you genuinely guessing with all the mysteries and secrets, and only let's you in, when it wants to, the acting was great and they do keep you intrigued until the final episode. However the final episode is where I have my issue, so much happens here that it could have done with splitting out into a couple more episodes, this would have fleshed out characters that could have had a bigger emotional impact and wouldn't have felt so rushed.

I think it would be nice if they have left things set up for another season.

I really didn't think it could get worse and then I watched the second film. I think the only thing I liked about this movie was Frank, the pug.

I think the plot was just bad, so many of the characters just felt useless. Kay and Jay spent the majority of the film running around trying to solve this puzzle that Kay had left himself and somehow made Jay look seriously dumb? But somehow we're still talking about the same agent who hesitated and shot the little girl in the first film because he evaluated the whole situation before taking a shot. But he couldn't figure out the picture frame, was basically talked down to the whole film, and barely beat the guy with the multiple flying versions of himself? It's like he somehow lost 100+ IQ points between the first and second films.

The saddest thing of them all? I'm still going to watch the third one with a small chance that it gets better. My expectations are already extremely low.
