fascinating look at a paradimensional prision

Rating: Null/10 (7 July 2002)

THE makers of the CUBE have woven a story about a paradimensional prison run by unseen overlords with a vast arsenal of weapons. The prision oddly is seemingly based on the many neurosises of the human mind and like many mental blocks seemingly impregnible. THE CUBE is perhaps one of the most intellectually stimulating films in years, a descendant of the hitchcock film LIFEBOAT, yet completely original. In a tale of life and death and a great escape, who is trying to con who? Is there an unseen menace within the would be surviors who will a mongoloid lead the way? The CUBE asks many questions and like a well crafted tale alludes to the answers. Whether the producers intended the film to be interpreted this way remains to be scene yet THE CUBE does make for hours of water cool conjecture. Enjoyable..ten stars out of ten.
