Unfilmable 75: Cube
Added 2025-05-30 15:39:16 +0000 UTCBehold the Cube. In a world before Saw, one could get a lot of joy from this film. Nowadays, we've seen every trick this movie does, but ten times better. And in those movies, we don't have to deal with a character like Kazan.

Hello! I was curious if youz have seen that movie Feed Me? I feel like it would make for an interesting episode. It's a strange one!

2025-06-05 18:24:52 +0000 UTCI have actually seen Cube 2: Hypercube and as ridiculous as the title is, it does make sense with the ridiculous context of the movie. The Hypercube, as the characters end up learning, is named because it is supposed to be a tesseract which is a 4 dimensional cube, with the 4th dimension being time. There are rooms where time moves more quickly or slowly and 2 characters die because they end up fucking in a "quick" room and don't realise how quickly time is passing and their bodies age and decay while fucking and floating in the middle of a room. So, yeah... If you thought Cube was bad... It gets much, much worse.

2025-06-04 07:36:37 +0000 UTCi ultimately like this movie because of Borges loyalty. i like mazes in general and want more of those stories in film. though this suffers from no-budget, i like it more than stuff like Maze Runner, which has money but isn’t as bleak-math as what i usually respond to. there’s a potential horror anthology of Borges maze stories that would be cheaper than dirt to film. i think there’s even a maze story that’s a straight line? you get like four Borges mazes together? maybe the frame narrative is also a maze? oh baby!

2025-06-02 20:55:41 +0000 UTCI always hated math and found prime numbers obnoxious. The cube wouldn't even need traps to kill me, I'd never be able to find the exit. I think the only thing people really remember about this movie is that first trap that cuts that guy into bits. It really is all downhill from there.

2025-06-02 20:32:41 +0000 UTCWhoops, I didn't mean to be the "WELL ACTUALLY, that's not horror" guy. That guy sucks! It's great, and I'm looking forward to the conversation, it just sounded like Kaye might be going a ways out of their way to see it and didn't want y'all making the effort thinking you were getting something way different.

2025-06-02 18:27:43 +0000 UTCAh, Cube. While I still think it's okay, I'm am not surprised you both disliked it as this is the bottom barrel of death traps films. Regardless, I still think it should rest at the top of that bottom pile. Mostly it is the cop that takes a big heel turn. As he murders and bullies the remaining survivors, my empathy for them started to grow. For personal reason, I am not a fan of police, thus having one as the main antagonist, playing a paranoid tyrant, serves the horror well.

2025-06-01 19:51:17 +0000 UTCIf you want to see this movie with all its qualities cranked to the purest saturation, then allow me to recommend "Circle." That movie lit up in my brain like a beacon at the phrases "Philosophical Battle Royale" and "a dumb person's idea of a smart movie." It's trashy as hell but I'm not about to lie and say I didn't really enjoy the watch.
Matt Bixler! Hello!
2025-05-31 22:40:52 +0000 UTCIs it about my cube? My biggest Cinema Sin with this movie was them using a plastic button to etch the metal. Definitely need Kaye to keep using her pick for Saw sequels until Gary is fully Saw-pilled into some type of Jigsaw protegé.

2025-05-31 14:33:13 +0000 UTCGreatly enjoyed this episode on a truly terrible movie that comes back to haunt my memories every few years. Kaye, I hadn't heard of the Japanese remake either, so I had to look it up. I thought you'd appreciate this quote from the film's Wikipedia page, which says it all... "(Critic) Junichi Inoue gave the film a low rating, saying, "Did anyone involved in this film think this was interesting? Did no one say anything? I question their love of film.""
