Hidden traps and cruel contraptions, that kill, if handled wrong. One wrong step, and your body gets sliced into little pieces. During the course of events - they learn about the meaning of life, and the life that is worth living or dying.

Reminds you of Saw?

Well, this is the grand daddy of Saw - its Cube (1997) - a little canadian indie movie which the makers of Saw undoubltely saw.

Armed with a miniscule budget and a 14″x14″ room with a group of 7 actors - debutant director Vincenzo Natali weaves a fantastic sci-fi/horror thriller.

A group of unrelated people wake up one day in a weird room with little doors on all sides, they have no idea where they are or why they are here. They soon find out that rooms are randomly booby trapped. Then starts the 90minute thriller which keeps you at the edge of your seat all thro. The movie, doest try to explain some big picture things (why? who put them there) but tries to explain some small details some of which are incredulous. It sports the highly geeky mathematical mumbo-jumbo like Darren Aronofsky’s Pi. A very surreal atmosphere and the errie background score sets the stage for this very enjoyable thriller.

A must see if you are sci-fi or horror fan.

5/5
