A young man whose job is to watch over the Cube endeavors to rescue an innocent woman trapped in one of its rooms. (via IMDB) This is a prequel to the 1997 film Cube.

Still, doesn't live up to the original, but it is much better than the sequel. The acting was better (still not great though) and it still had a made for tv feel. Seeing the other side of what was happening with the Cube was a very interesting idea but I feel like it was lacking and led to more questions than it answered.

Rating: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆ 6/10

Eight strangers awaken with no memory and find themselves in a puzzling cube-shaped room where the laws of physics do not always apply. (via IMDB) This is a sequel to 1997's Cube.

This felt like a made for tv movie. The budget and acting quality were nowhere near the original film. The characters were not interesting and some did not even seem to be necessary at all. The amount of "horror" was very minimal and I would actually classify it as more sci-fi. The most interesting part of Hypercube was the ending.

Rating: ★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆5/10

Cube is a math-heavy horror flick that was released in 1997. Six individuals find themselves locked in a massive cube maze and attempt to find the way out using the power of math and boots.

Overall this is a rather enjoyable film. It has moments where it feels like it is taking itself way too seriously though. Over the course of the movie, you see some of the characters slowly become more and more paranoid and distressed. The true natures of these individuals are exposed. I think that except for some overacting this was wonderfully done. Maurice Dean Wint did a great job with Quentin.  My main problem (as spoiler-free as I can put it) is why did they wait so long? They were just asking for trouble. I have seen too many horror films to be tricked into thinking everything was going to be okay.

Rating: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ 7/10
