10 Best Sci-Fi Horror Films To Watch Halloween 2020
3. Cube (1997)
The less that is spoiled about Cube before watching it for the first time the better, so this entry won't cover the plot in too much detail. Essentially, this film focuses on a group of strangers who have found themselves trapped in "The Cube", a gigantic complex comprised of numerous cube shaped rooms, many of which contain traps that are able to kill anyone who sets foot into them instantly. The strangers attempt to navigate around The Cube in the hopes of finding an exit, whilst fighting increasing exhaustion, as well as themselves.
This film has garnered quite a cult following since its original release, mainly as a result of its intriguing premise that is bound to instantly captivate any first-time viewers. Cube chooses to keep the audience in the dark as to why the characters are trapped in The Cube, and who exactly put them there in the first place, but it could be argued that this serves to make the film more memorable and captivating in the long run.
Although the sequels Cube 2: Hypercube (2002) and Cube Zero (2004) would flesh out the basic premise even further, the original film works so well because of how little the viewer is allowed to know, as they are kept in the dark just like the characters that they are watching. For those who have never seen it before, Cube is definitely worth a watch, as it is still quite the underrated gem.
