20 Horror Movie Characters We NEVER See

4. The Creators of the Cube - Cube

1997's cult classic horror Cube follows a group of seven people who wake up trapped inside a labyrinth of deadly cube-shaped rooms. 

They have no idea how they got there, nor why they've been put inside such a macabre creation or who was responsible for the cube being built. 

And brilliantly, the film ends without answering much of this - only one character manages to find the cube's exit, but the film ends without revealing what awaits them outside or who made the damn thing.

It's a perfectly, enticingly vague one-off movie, enough that one might be compelled to ignore both the sequel, Cube 2: Hypercube, and prequel Cube Zero, for making far too much effort to demystify the cube, revealing that it was built by a shadowy corporation by the name of Izon.

Some things are better left up in the air, and if you take the original on its own terms, it was so smart to never show its single survivor, Kazan (Andrew Miller), meeting the people behind the cube.
