I have a weird aunt who gives us strange and unasked-for Christmas gifts every year. This year I received from her a bottle of maple syrup in a glass jar shaped like a maple leaf, a jar of garlic mustard, a Best Buy gift card, and also a DVD - "Cube." Never heard of this movie before and there's no one famous in it. My mom, sister, and brother-in-law decided we needed to watch it as soon as possible so we could try and figure out what on earth led her to get me this movie. So the four of us watched it Christmas night. Within the first 5 minutes of the movie, a guy was sliced into about 3000 little cubic pieces. My mom almost left the room but managed to hang in there for the entire hour and thirty minutes.
Here's a description off Amazon:
If Clive Barker had written an episode of The Twilight Zone, it might have looked something like Cube. A handful of strangers wake up inside a bizarre maze, having been spirited there during the night. They quickly learn that they have to navigate their way through a series of chambers if they have any hope of escape, but the problem is that there are lethal traps awaiting if they choose their route unwisely. Having established some imaginative and grisly punishments in store for the hostages, cowriter and director Vincenzo Natali turns his attention to the characters, for whom being trapped amplifies their best and worst qualities. The film is, in fact, similar to a famous episode of Rod Serling's old television series, though Natali's explanation for why these poor people are being put through hell is a lot closer to the spirit of The X-Files. Cube has some solid moments of suspense and drama, and the sets are appropriately striking: one is tempted to believe at first the characters are lost inside a computer chip
It actually wasn't too bad given the extremely low budget and the fact that the entire movie was shot in two single cube rooms in a warehouse in Toronto. I had never heard of it before and wanted to see if anyone had.
