The Cube

I adore this low budget sci-fi horror. A group of individuals wake up alone within a maze of interconnected rooms which move and are laced with a series of traps and numerical clues.

It gets compared to Saw - which annoys me no end. Cube has both a soul and a brain.

A lot of people hate this film because of the ending - but if you don't LOVE the ending, then you didn't get the film. This is a sci-fi horror with a small budget but a brain and big ambitions. Some people get it. A lot of people don't. I think a lot of people come to this expecting a gore fest - and while there are a few nasty scenes they are there to increase the tension and to underline the message of this film. And it's a clever little message, if you spot it.
