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.

You gotta watch all three if you watch one.

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.

I enjoyed that movie in a mystery science theater 3000 kind of way. It was b movie bad but good.

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

Soon, in a five season Netflix show:

I swear I read this story in the mid-1970's as a kids novel

Cybersec@piefed.social · 3 pts · 81d

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.

Please provide a aummary

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

PS: I did like it

I loved this movie. It was really really bad though 🤣

TehBamski@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 81d (3 replies)

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.|

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.

TehBamski@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 81d (1 reply)

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

Sturgist@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 81d

Totally fair.

Jhex@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 81d (3 replies)

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

Sturgist@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 81d

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.

deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz · 5 pts · 81d

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

lime@feddit.nu · 3 pts · 81d

all of them fit in that window, believe me.

"A group of strangers find themselves trapped in a maze-like prison. It soon becomes clear that each of them possesses the peculiar skills necessary to escape, if they don’t wind up dead first."

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

People die horrifically in cube.

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