That movie was weird, bad, and yet good at the same time. I really enjoyed it. I can't remember where I even came across it. I might even have it on DVD.
Love it.
Love the ending.
You gotta watch all three if you watch one.
Hahaha. I can assure you... you do not need to watch the second movie. The third which is a prequel, was pretty good IMO. But it's not necessary to watch.
Cube 2: Hypercube was .. mmm... Chef's kiss
Nah, whoever made the aecond movie did not understand the first movie
Yeah, it's better as a stand-alone IMO
I enjoyed that movie in a mystery science theater 3000 kind of way. It was b movie bad but good.
I actually loved this. It had some sequels but its the kind of thing that they are never going to do justice.
Soon, in a five season Netflix show:
I swear I read this story in the mid-1970's as a kids novel
Hey yeah I read that too a long time ago, was it about kids though and unending stairs going in every direction, but in the end theyβre in an experiment? That book always stuck with me and impacted me a lot.
I placed this in the same bucket as films like Fortress.
They are not good films. But they are enjoyable films.
A certain amount of suspension of your own intellect makes them go down real easy.
Please provide a aummary
low budget, poorly acted, really interesting premise if you like sci-fi, post apocalyptic scenarios and or "weird" stuff
PS: I did like it
I loved this movie. It was really really bad though π€£
HA! It's rough around the edges, yeah, but it is by far, not the worst horror/thriller movie I've watched or attempted to watch. And to be fair, it was Vincenzo Natali's first full length movie, that was produced on "$350,000 in cash with another $350,000 [as] donated services." https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-vancouver-sun/106334691/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_(1997_film)#Filming
Also because of money constrains, they only could allow for one day of table read before starting principal filming.|

Oh, no, sorry. I didn't mean it was the worst film ever. It's bad good. Juuuust the right amount of cheese. And despite the acting being poor, it wasn't the worst and they WERE clearly trying.
You seem to be glossing over the first bit of my comment where I said I loved it.
Perhaps. But sarcasm online is hard to determine. =)
Totally fair.
There are dozens of us! hahahaha
I have not brought myself to see the 2 sequels yet. Mostly because I forget and my window of to watch "probably bad but I kind of like it" movies is narrow
Oh fuck! I totally forgot about the sequels! I vaguely remember watching the second one. The only thing that stuck in my memory is that it clearly had a much bigger budget.
It's worth it. They're similar enough and distinct enough to be enjoyed.
all of them fit in that window, believe me.
"A group of strangers find themselves trapped in a maze-like prison. It soon becomes clear that each of them possesses the peculiar skills necessary to escape, if they donβt wind up dead first."
I was seven when this came out, and it is possibly the only horror movie I've ever seen...
People die horrifically in cube.
What is the novelβs name (ISBN too if hard to find)
I couldn't find any refences to a book anywhere - there was a short comic.
I think they might be referring to 'House of Stairs' the 1974 book by William Sleator.
It's not technically what the film was based on but they do share a few similarities.
People wake up in a maze like puzzle without knowing how they got in there. But that's sort of as far as it goes.
