Better than Sphere

Rating: 9/10 (21 January 2004)

One set. About six lighting options. A handful of cast members. No budget. Sounds like the perfect formula for a classic indie horror movie to me. This often gets pigeonholed as Sci-Fi...is it? A bunch of strangers are dumped in a huge cube in the middle of nowhere filled with deadly traps. In the end, how many - if any - will get out alive? And which among them will be the first to crack? Oh, there's a mildly offensive portrayal of a sub-Rain Man autistic. If that sort of thing p***es you off, give it a miss.
