Summary: This is how a scary movie should be
Review: This movie puts just about any other horror movie ever made to shame. This the ultimate in fright - it's suspenseful, but not overly so. It could have many hidden meanings - but don't read into it too deeply, just enjoy the movie. Very well done, and very unique. This is a must-see.

Summary: UNFORGETTABLE
Review: I have to say this movie is diffenately unforgettable. If you like a good blood curling and twisted movie this is diffinately for you. From the very begining things start going wrong. And continue going from good to bad until the surprising ending. I would say this is a must see movie.

Summary: Like a sweet karate video game but everyone dies in 1 hit
Review: Its the familiar "we must work together" plot. They even have an actor say that we were all put here for a reason. However, they never highlight the skills that each has. 2 of them have the same skill, duh... only 1 skill is required to escape so why do they have to work together?Throughout the movie they keep asking themselves what are we doing here and what should we be doing to get out. They never answer those questions. They keep asking who put us here, but they never find out. Why do the rooms have different Xs, and what does each X represent? Why does so and so dislike rooms with this X, never told... The police officers transformation is unexplained and his behavior does not follow. The engineers lack of a desire to live is unexplained. Why does X let Y die? How did Y know X family history? Was Y indeed correct? How did X know Y personal information, was X correct? The deaths are unnecesary and dont increase the level of o-sh!tness (desperation). Look, these questions are not your "food for thought" type of questions. They(the acting) begg you to ask these questions and they intertwine them in the plot and actions of the characters, yet they never answer them... The idea is great and i was following the solution of the puzzle which was also great. I thought wow when they figured it out. The acting was also pretty good as I was sucked into this thing all the way. Like i said, they had me asking all kinds of questions about the characters which came from the good acting, but... Rent this movie? YES Buy this movie? NO You will only want to see it once. PH

Summary: At last, some originality....
Review: This video is/was one of the best films I've seen in ages.At last some originality in the staid horror genre! You probably know what it's about already, so I won't bore you with a re-hash of the plot, but needless to say I loved it.The plot and direction were direct and didn't meander off into self congratulation and the re-use of the same set,(probably originally a budget thing,) only serves to heighten the feeling of entrapment. Some nice twists in the plot and some complete 180's by the characters,(and accordingly your views of them,)make for a truly unique film.Best of all were the special effects which were clever and amazingly, in this age of over laden cg blockbusters, understated and subtle, the way special effects are supposed to be, i.e. to add tension etc, not the be all and end all of the film.(take note, "lost in space," and others.) I can see people hating it, obviously, but I liked the fact that it required a little thought put into it and you weren't completely spoon fed. Oh, and I don't think they could have done the ending any other way without it being a dissapointment or a cop-out.

Summary: My two cents worth...
Review: Amazing movie. Very creative. If I could give it 10 stars just for originality, I would. It's that good. I've found people either LOVE it or HATE it...I loved it. What's out there? Endless human stupidity. (No doubt)

Summary: excellent Canadian effort
Review: First up, it's the guy from "Pin"!! David Hewlett?!? --something like that?? It's just nice seeing this guy again :) Second, CUBE is a great movie--all the more better cuz it's a Canadian film injecting a little life into the misunderstood and mistreated/commercialized horror genre (ie. Scream X, I Know Who You Did--I mean--What You Did Last Summer, The Faculty, even Silence of the Lambs, any big budget Hollywood "effort"). Third, premise pays homage to the great Rod Serling/Twilight Zone (the original stuff, NOT the updated 80's/90's ****) legacy...asking cool "what if <this> and <that> happened" questions and letting the story go from there. To get an idea of where modern horror is going, check out "Habit" and "No Telling" by Larry Fessenden..."Evil Dead Trap" by Toshiharu Ikeda is kinda cool too, but it's not really available yet--just "nudge-nudge-wink-wink" your clerk at the nearest alternative video store. Hmmmm...what else?? I dunno...STAY AWAY from all the shot-on-video attempts at horror..."The Dead Next Door" is probably the best of the shot-on-video independent stuff--but that's not saying much at all...

Summary: Unbelievable!
Review: I heard of this movie and didn't know what to think of it. When I saw it after a while I looked at things differently. It definitly makes you a more paranoid person. You feel as if you are trapped inside with them. You feel their fear, anxiety, hopelessness, anger, desperation. I highly recommend this movie.

Summary: Not a bad lil' Sci-Fi flcik.
Review: I kind of liked this movie. Sure, as anyone will point out, the acting wasn't all it perhaps should've been, but if you look past that, most of it works!! The story is very creative, the characters are colorful and play very well of each other, and the suspense keeps it going. My one big problem with this movie was the ending. It was awful, very unnecesary. They really could've gotten away with making it a happier, or at least less akward in the end. Oh well, I still liked it. Its probably best to recomend this to Science Fiction fans.

Summary: Good story,but lags in a few places
Review: Overall I enjoyed this dark story from the gorry beggining to the predictable ending. I liked the plot and characters a lot and the setting was great. However there were a few cons- 1. The whole cube is enormous- much larger than any other modern structure in the world, and were are supposed to believ that it is built secretly underground or in some other hidden area. 2. I know this might sound sick, but with all the booby traps that were in the cube only 2 of them actually, actually killed people. 3. The ending was so damn predictable, let alone frustrating and depressing.
