Made in Canada

Rating: 9/10 (15 February 2003)

I really must say, that as corny as it sounds, this film made me proud as hell.... although many films are shot in Canada, relatively few are actually Canadian projects. With the exception of Cronenberg's work, there is little in the Canadian film catalogue that really got me excited...
Cube changed that - a Canuck feature from conception to distribution - shot on a low budget, it really surprised me with it's quality. It's like the classic Twilight Zone channeled by Clive Barker. The acting is decent, the concept is genius, the visual design is innovative and made maximum use of resources without looking cheap. A thought provoking, stylish hybrid of sci-fi, horror, and whodunnit (and we still don't really know shodunnit by the end, Cube occupies an honored place in my collection.
