Rating: 9/10 (29 August 2019)

In CUBE, a group of 5 people awaken in a maze of identical, interconnected rooms, not knowing each other or how any of them got there. They soon realize that there are deadly booby traps in the rooms, and that a way out might be complicated. As they get to know more about each other, it's clear that each person has strengths and weaknesses that could help or hinder their progress. What is this place? Why are these people here? Who or what is behind it? CUBE is a fascinating, terrifying film, involving survival and group dynamics under increasing stress. As the tension rises, the true temperaments emerge, casting doubt on whether this group can stick together long enough to work it out. The labyrinth itself is ingenious, both in design and execution. Of course, it's mostly in our heads, since there's one room, bathed in various colors and using numbers to create the illusion of a vast number. This is a low-budget movie done right. Recommended for those who crave a different story without any easy answers...
