"A great movie. It is better than the second movie. It was very creepy in spots. I am a fan of this form of storytelling that allows the viewer to try and solve the puzzle alongside the movie and with the characters. "

"I've always been a fan of the Saw way of storytelling. Allowing the audience to put together a puzzle as the plot develops, trusting the audience to be intelligent and interactive, this makes for a great way of viewing a movie. Cube was a great example of this storytelling. The characters were slowly revealed with their backgrounds and why they were brought together in this situation. It's life or death, but the escape is out of reach for most. "

"The Cube series is quite a lot of fun if you like thoughtful, low budget horror and it has the following going for it...1.) Intriguing use of single room location.2.) Characters from all walks of life thrown together are forced to rely on (and trust) one another.3.) Open ended discussion of what the cube could be lets your mind disengage from reality and imagine the worst.4.) Open ended fears allow characters to deviate from their societal facades and become their true horrific (or good) selves.5.)

The third film is not being reviewed here but is a prequel of sorts and is said to go outside the cube and into the control room of those conducting the "experiment".The location and basic set up of the Cube series consists of the following. A group of strangers is deposited into the belly of a giant cube. There are doors in ... "

"There's too much to say, too easy to get carried away, but I'll constrain myself to this: a tightly-wound, truly engaging psychological thrill, Cube is one in a time-tested series of successes built on the highly effective platform of, as I call them, one-set flicks, movies that take place if not entirely in a single location then predominantly in one place. It's always been a firm belief that when characters are sequestered indefinitely, the penning-in of human nature and human emotion necessarily means that the dam is going to break eventually and it's going to be ugly. The basis for this is that when you retain people on a single set and restrict them to a sparse set of rules, you rig the elements of a chain-reaction that absolutely will get out of hand, and fast. It's a qualified framework for a tense ride because when you force something to get in someone's head and it gets in his or her mind, there is no escaping it. Theoretically you can get away ... "
