CUBE
Rating: ****
Cast: unknown people
Genre: Sci-Fi thriller
This is quite an old movie released in 1997. I watched it on DVD in Malaysia during CNY.
An intelligent, mind boggling, low budget movie. Superb opening scene. Basically it's about 7 individuals from different backgrounds being trapped in a sophisticated maze with traps that are sadistically fatal. Think before you enter.
Highly recommended!
There's also a sequel CUBE2 which I thought was not as good as the first.
Here's a comment written by a viewer named Matthew Williams from England:
It probably cost about half the budget of this movie, to make the opening... the one who's munching pineapple tarts now
sequence, which successfully gets your attention. Once it has your attention it
simply refuses to let you go, it is compelling to say the least.The Entire cast
were pretty much unknown when the film was made (and most still are), but they
all gave fine performances throughout. Without the successful casting this film
could have easily been a disaster, as it is almost entirely character driven.
I'm glad to say that definitely is not the case.Despite the low budget and
practically unknown cast, the film manages to be clever, intriguing,
Thought-provoking and Highly enjoyable. Sadly, this film is probably a one off,
i can't think of another low budget film that has half the impact of this one.
