Editorial Review:Six ordinary strangers awaken to find themselves in a seemingly endless maze of interlocking cubical chambers armed with lethal booby traps. They have to learn to cooperate to solve the secrets of this deadley trap. No Track Information Available Media Type: DVD Artist: DEBOER/GUADAGNI Title: CUBE Street Release Date: 02/01/2005 Domestic Genre: HORROR
If Clive Barker had written an episode of The Twilight Zone, it might have looked something like Cube. A handful of strangers wake up inside a bizarre maze, having been spirited there during the night. They quickly learn that they have to navigate their way through a series of chambers if they have any hope of escape, but the problem is that there are lethal traps awaiting if they choose their route unwisely. Having established some imaginative and grisly punishments in store for the hostages, cowriter and director Vincenzo Natali turns his attention to the characters, for whom being trapped amplifies their best and worst qualities. The film is, in fact, similar to a famous episode of Rod Serling's old television series, though Natali's explanation for why these poor people are being put through hell is a lot closer to the spirit of The X-Files. Cube has some solid moments of suspense and drama, and the sets are appropriately striking: one is tempted to believe at first the characters are lost inside a computer chip. --Tom Keogh

Gotta love this movie! Almost makes you think that the people of Saw might have seen this movie before creating theirs. Cube 2 was not good, and 3 was barely okay. There is nothing like that first. Every sci-fi and horror flick fanatic should have this in their collection. I'm a movie goer, renter, but I rarely buy. The fact that I bought this says a lot.

Cube was a good movie, alot of action. Its like a sci-horror, but horror at entry level. Cube 1 was a hit that it lauched other sequeals, 2 & 3 were not as good as one. Dont waste your time with Cube 2, poor actin and boring.

I'd rate the movie as fair to good. It had a few little twists but it was kind of drawn out and the acting was a little cheesy. It's entertaining but it's not something I would watch more than once...

Although the film is low-budget, the story and concept are fresh and fascinating. I think the Saw franchise borrowed elements from this movie as well. If you like the Saw series, check out Cube.

I am stealing a quote from Ronald Battista's one-star review (I hope he doesn't mind) because it is completely on point and sums the movie up completely: "Dreadful acting, dreadful writing, dreadful characters, dreadful attempt at philosophy. Unlike the cube itself, this puppy has no depth, though it sure tries to pretend".
A perfect review. Completely accurate.
It has truly HORRIBLE acting and writing and makes such a ham-handed attempt at a philosophical commentary that ... Read More
