epimondas

The set up is a bit like Stand By Me, but gradually builds up like a classic horror throwback. You might get vibes of a psychedelic cross between Lost Boys and Stranger Things. You might even feel hints of some popular anime or manga mixing in. Most interesting though is that it might just resemble an even more twisted complex version of the classic story, Hansel and Gretal. Though I may have simplified the description, the atmosphere and plot are starkingly similar to those movies. However it isn't all about horror as plenty of mystery elements and bits of angst, understanding others, and growing up even out the overall experience. It's certainly worth watching and if you like this type of movie, then it's also worth buying.

This is a memorable movie. Though it strays into gratuitous graphic violence and grossness, it does it well and in a way to fit the story. So although it can be hard to watch at times, it doesn't feel random or pointless like it often does in most other movies than usually simply substitute being GROSS with thriller moments or horror scenes. They aren't the same. Cube however, shows that it is possible to brilliantly blend horror, thrills, scares, and a fair amount of grossness. What perhaps makes it even more terrifying are the elements of reality showing it could happen as bizarre as it is because of the subtlety of hints at its mysterious origins and that anyone can randomly find themselves trapped in similar circumstances.
