10 Horror Movies You Never Knew Spawned A Trilogy

Even the simplest of movie concepts allows for the exploitation of sequels, prequels, and spin-offs, even if the original characters die in horrific ways, so a sequel to Cube was always going to be on the cards. The first movie is a feel-good story of an independent movie punching above its weight. It cost just over $300,000 to produce but ended up going on to rake in over $8 million at the box office. That's the kind of profitability where it would be rude not to make a sequel.

Cube 2: Hypercube arrived five years after the original, but was hampered by that early 2000s CGI which is just awful to revisit. It just also wasn't that good. Money talks though, and a prequel named Cube Zero arrived in 2004 and sailed right onto DVD shelves, creating an unlikely trilogy of movies that all essentially follow a bunch of strangers dying in a myriad of ways within a mysterious cube. You know, kind of how Saw and Escape Room turned out.
