After being provoked by Quentin, Worth admits that he designed the maze's outer shell (also shaped like a cube) for a shadowy and uncaring bureaucracy. Tensions rise over personal conflicts and the mystery over the maze's purpose. Quentin injures his leg in a trapped room deemed safe by Leaven's calculations. Leaven hypothesizes that any room marked with a prime number is a trap, and they find an intellectually disabled man named Kazan, whom Holloway insists they bring along. Worth cagily describes himself as an office worker.

He is a divorced police officer, Leaven is a young mathematics student, and Holloway is a free clinic doctor. Quentin believes each person was chosen to be there. This indicates that each trap is triggered by different sensors. Rennes enters a room that he thinks to be safe and is killed when he is sprayed in the face with acid. Leaven notices numbers inscribed into the narrow passageways between rooms. He tests each room by throwing one of his boots first. Rennes, a convict who has escaped seven prisons, assumes the traps are triggered by motion detectors. Quentin, who had been exploring, warns everyone that some rooms contain traps. None of them knows how or why they have arrived. A small indie horror gem of the 90's, which to this very day is still unforgivably unheard of.In a pre-credits sequence, a man (Alderson) dies in a gory manner in a cube-shaped room.įive desperate people – Quentin, Worth, Holloway, Leaven, and Rennes – meet in another identical room. I thought it was masterfully executed, beautifully lit and effectively atmospheric. A metaphor of the movie, and 5 minutes of sharp satirical dialogue that is as intelligent as Natali's method of conceptual filmmaking. At one key psychological tension between two characters explores how humans take action without asking any questions and how we lack the confidence to inquire the consequences, and how everything we do is to our own benefit. We are simply dropped right into the action, of which there is impressively very little, and everything we learn about the story is through the eyes of the victims of the horrors that are yet to come. Not a lot is said about what the titular cube setting is and the unknown motives that are behind it's existence. The tension of the film cranks up every single minute as plot twists of varying predictabilities further intrigue us into the small world that has been built for us. Although the acting is at times slight, the overall performances flesh out a phenomenal sense of pure panic without resorting to kicking and screaming. That said unlike the film's that followed it the death sequences are gruesome and hugely innovative. The range of short concept, visually enigmatic horror flicks that it has undoubtedly inspired include the cynical yet ridiculously popular Saw franchise.

But Cube was a movie that was always really hard to follow, and it's been ripped off many times since it came out. This micro budget thriller held the high watermark until the release of his true masterpiece, Splice. Cube was his first ever film but also the one which demonstrated the strongest that he can flesh out true horror simply by manipulating something's appearance. Vincenzo Natali is the master of surrealist science fiction cinema.
