low budget, poorly acted, really interesting premise if you like sci-fi, post apocalyptic scenarios and or "weird" stuff

PS: I did like it

There are dozens of us! hahahaha

I have not brought myself to see the 2 sequels yet. Mostly because I forget and my window of to watch "probably bad but I kind of like it" movies is narrow

HA! It's rough around the edges, yeah, but it is by far, not the worst horror/thriller movie I've watched or attempted to watch. And to be fair, it was Vincenzo Natali's first full length movie, that was produced on "$350,000 in cash with another $350,000 [as] donated services." https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-vancouver-sun/106334691/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_(1997_film)#Filming

Also because of money constrains, they only could allow for one day of table read before starting principal filming.|

It's worth it. They're similar enough and distinct enough to be enjoyed.

Oh fuck! I totally forgot about the sequels! I vaguely remember watching the second one. The only thing that stuck in my memory is that it clearly had a much bigger budget.

Oh, no, sorry. I didn't mean it was the worst film ever. It's bad good. Juuuust the right amount of cheese. And despite the acting being poor, it wasn't the worst and they WERE clearly trying.

You seem to be glossing over the first bit of my comment where I said I loved it.

Perhaps. But sarcasm online is hard to determine. =)

That movie was weird, bad, and yet good at the same time. I really enjoyed it. I can't remember where I even came across it. I might even have it on DVD.

I couldn't find any refences to a book anywhere - there was a short comic.

I was seven when this came out, and it is possibly the only horror movie I've ever seen...

Hey yeah I read that too a long time ago, was it about kids though and unending stairs going in every direction, but in the end they’re in an experiment? That book always stuck with me and impacted me a lot.

I actually loved this. It had some sequels but its the kind of thing that they are never going to do justice.

Hahaha. I can assure you... you do not need to watch the second movie. The third which is a prequel, was pretty good IMO. But it's not necessary to watch.
