So-so acting, writing, directing, and FX. So why do I love it?!?

Rating: 8/10 (18 July 2009)

Under any other circumstances, I would give this movie a one. The acting is bad at times, the writing is nothing special, the visual effects are... Well, not good, and the directing was alright. BUT, you just have to love this movie. It has a lot of flaws, but it works as a sci-fi horror/thriller. The film never drops the tension and terror. After the opening scene I don't think anyone could help but be intrigued. It is a brilliant idea for a story, even if it does borderline on silly occasionally. It's a film where you need to leave all sense of logic and judgement, and just have fun!
Sit down on a Saturday night with some friends and enjoy it. You begin to feel the panic and claustrophobia that the victims are feeling. It really is scary! CUBE is an absorbing, terrifying little picture that is one of the best sci-fi/horror films I have seen since the ALIEN films.
