Cube

I don't like horror or gore. But, I do like David Hewlett. It was worth cringing with my hands over my eyes to see him. The story is off-beat-ly interesting. Smart, tense, horror.

I hadn't seen this since the 90's on Sci-Fi channel, but it always stood out as an amazingly original story premise with a brutal execution. I just watched it a couple days ago, and it is STILL as I remember it. Some of the acting might get a little hammy, but for the most part everyone does a fantastic job.The blu-ray treatment is well done, with crisp clean picture quality, appropriate color levels, and very nice depth of shadows. Likewise, the sound is clear and bright, and nothing is muddled or muted. I couldn't ask for more.

I purchased this & the whole trilogy. the visual & audio quality is fine, on all three. I was a bit nervous because when they arrived one was from Mexico & another from Canada & didn't know if I would have issues. I played them in one of my worst players & they all played fine. I purchased them to add to my " Strange Games" collection. It all started in the 1970's when I saw " Roller Ball" & " Death Race 2000". As I grew older, I discovered one, if not the first of the " Strange Game " movies " The Most Dangerous Game" starring Fey Wray, I believe it was filmed at the same time they filmed " King Kong". If you're into these kinds of films i.e. ..." The Hunger Games", " Maze Runner", " The Hunt" this is a must have for your collection. The last one made is a prequel that sets up the trilogy. For the price you definitely get your money's worth. I don't like spoilers so I will just say these while considered by many as Cult Classics are a bit more than that. Great action, adventure & horror all rolled into a suspense filled fight for survival. I would say great fun for the whole family but only if everyone in your family is at least 16 years old.

I won't say too much cause there's really not much to say about the plot beyond the premise: A pack of unrelated individuals find themselves inside a complex of interconnected cube-shaped rooms which seem to go on forever. (And some of them contain traps...) Needless to say, they must get out, though they have few clues. If this premise sounds interesting to you, check it out, though you should note that this was made for only like $500,000 so the acting and production values aren't going to be up to major-release standards. I say this partially because 'Cube' is unusually prominent for a film this cheap, so it draws the attention of the sort of viewer that wouldn't necessarily be used to watching something this low-budget, and thus is unable to make the leaps necessary to get into this. It is abundantly obvious that many of the negative reviews here come from people in this position. They certainly aren't required to like 'Cube', but their opinions really aren't of much use to those who'd be part of the core audience of the film.Suffice to say, if you've watched many low-budget genre films you'll have seen plenty of cheaper effects and worse acting, so these sort of complaints won't effect you much. (And frankly the acting just generally isn't bad for the most part. The Quentin character tends to over do it a lot of the time, but everyone else is fine. They ain't gonna win any Oscars, but they're serviceable.) It does slow down perhaps a bit too much at times, but it's got enough clever, significant revelations at various points to maintain interest, and the dialogue and conflicts between the characters prove fairly entertaining during the downtime. The film has got some rather nice gore, I might mention, not a whole lot of it, but they make it count. Furthermore, it does seem to have some allegorical concerns relating to modern society and whatnot, and while it doesn't say anything terribly profound, I think it comes up with some reasonably salient and truthful comments on how the modern world works, and illustrates this stuff well through the actual plot of the film rather than just tacking it on. More significant, it's got enough going for it from a purely dramatic standpoint that it can work even if you don't care about these thematic concerns. And yeah, this movie is kinda like an overblown episode of 'The Twilight Zone', particularly reminding one of '5 Character in Search of an Exit' on a very basic level. But hell, I like that show a lot, and we could use a few more things like it in modern film/television.Yeah, a cool movie. Check it out.Grade: B+

A good original movie with bad sequels

I thought this movie was well done. The premise is simple – mysteriously a group of strangers end up in cubes and they realize they need to work together in order to get out. Each stranger has a background that could be helpful. However, its not just a matter of figuring out how to get out – but also how to survive deadly booby traps designed to kill. It's interesting to see what humanity gets boiled down to when survival is at stake. I think this is an underrated sci-fi thriller. I like a movie that keeps me thinking after it has ended. I’m definitely not a lazy viewer where I demand everything to be spoon fed to me. That’s what my imagination is for!It’s hard to believe this film was made on a minor budget and the fact that only one cube set-piece was built to film the entire movie! I find that fascinating. If you’re looking for something unique and interesting, then I’d recommend this film. I can see where other (newer) films drew their inspiration from i.e. Escape Room (2019).The five star rating is for the condition of the product. No problems with the case, disc, or shipping of the product.
