Who built it and where is it?

Rating: 8/10 (25 November 2012)

Enjoyable psychological 'ordinary people caught in a deadly maze-like trap' horror – much better than the 'Saw' film series which followed this and borrowed ideas from it. Aspects of this film are similar to episodes of the Twilight Zone and the Outer Limits. Ultimately this is more about people loosing their humanity under extreme pressure than about the futuristic and Kafkaesque trap itself. The opening sequence is truly horrific. The cube itself is well realised and one really wants to know what's outside, where the cube physically is located (it must be vast in size) and who built it and why. None of these questions (naturally!) are answered during the course of the film and this only adds to the intrigue.
