Cube

Cube (1997) - 4/5

This is a tense escape room film with a few gruesome deaths. Its superb acting and story far outweigh its very low budget, which will keep cynics guessing what turns the plot will take. As with many sci-fi movies there is a lot of speculation among the characters as to what exactly is going on, and although there are plenty of ambiguities left unanswered at the end for the most part it’s a smart and satisfying conclusion.
