Dug this out of storage over the weekend and had forgotten what a superbly original film it was....

Cube 2: Hyper cube and Cube Zero (a prequel to the original Cube).
Cube is a great film. I always thought Saw borrowed a lot elements and became commercially successful because of it. When you realise it was made as part (from memory) of a Toronto film students, on a budget (again from memory) of around $100,000 - it is amazing what was achieved, especially in the visual effects department.
I liked Cube 2, whilst not on the same level as Cube, it started swaying into hyper dimensions etc, which was at least interesting.
Cube Zero well that was just pathetic.

This thread made me watch it again tonight.
I can't remember where I heard it, whether it was the DVD commentary or imdb, but they had just the one set and changed the bulb colours to represent different rooms. Good concept, good characters (and character evolution), clever enough without being pretentious, good filming, good acting, good direction - the list goes on.
Either way, it's a film that should be shown on all uni courses that involve any sort of film making element. Top banana.

I think they had two cubes so that they could film themselves going between each room. Amazing what they achieved really.
