A surprisingly good B-Movie

Rating: 7/10 (27 January 1999)

If I had paid eight bucks to see this in a theatre, I'd have more quibbles with it. But to rent it on 99-cent Tuesday made it a real find, a movie that sticks with you exactly because it doesn't try to explain itself.
Various characters find themselves in a cubic room with doors in each of the six walls, each of which leads to another cubic room, some of which contain deadly traps (razor wire, acid spray, flame throwers, etc.)A group of five struggles to find a way out before tension and suspicion do them in. They don't know who put them in the cube, really, or why, and neither do we; we're left to ponder the meaning. This is a real B-movie, done cheap (just one set!) with no-name actors, but the FX are good, the gore is tasteful, and the lingering paranoia is good enough for me to give this a genre-grade 7. If you liked "Dark City," which this somewhat resembles, check it out.
