This is one of those rare films that I stumbled upon by accident and found myself absolutely loving it. Seven complete strangers of widely varying personality characteristics are involuntarily placed in a seemingly endless maze of cubes, some of which contain deadly traps. We know only as much as the protagonisits do and as the film progresses we learn why all the different characters have been placed there. They have to work as a team but as the fear and desperation builds, the basic human survival instinct begins to take hold. It’s simple yet brilliantly clever, and you get a real sense of building tension and claustrophobia throughout.

Cube will leave you thinking about it for a long time after,and you’ll find yourself with a lasting feeling that you have watched something so unusual and clever that you will want to see it again.
