Product Description

Every nightmare has a beginning. In this prequel to the cult hit Cube, one of the most successful sci-fi thrillers of the last decade, a new group of unwilling participants frantically moves through an ominous construct of cube-shaped rooms. Each room holds the threat of hideously inventive and painful death. Finding the real exit, however, may not offer the freedom one seeks.

Following the grisly 1997 Cube and its 2002 sequel, Cube 2: Hypercube, Cube Zero stretches the original's The Twilight Zone-like, strangers-in-a-box theme a little thin. Fortunately, there's a difference this time. The hero is not just another disoriented captive of the Cube's interconnected--often lethal--rooms, but rather a geek named Eric (Zachary Bennett) who sits in a control station wrestling with his conscience about inflicting misery on innocent people. Taking orders over the phone from some almighty, unknown power in a distant office, Eric reaches a breaking point and enters the maze himself, intent on helping a woman (Stephanie Moore) who doubts his motives. The existential bent of the prior films becomes even more Kafkaesque this time with the arrival of a white-collar team of tormentors, bureaucratic tyrants who can't or won't explain the point of the Cube. Imaginative writer-director Ernie Barbarash rescues what might have been a tedious formula flick. --Tom Keogh

Cube Zero
i just love these movies, i must admit i did love the bright fresh new idea when the first one came out, I hope there will be others, what I liked about it is that there is now answer really, but there are clues through the movie, I recommennd this movie if your into something strange ;) have fun

As Good As The First.
CUBE ZERO (#3) is as intense and shocking as the first Cube, and in some ways a bit more intense. I enjoyed it, and really enjoyed the story line and ending - it answered a lot of un answered questions.

same movie different title
i watched the original cube. This is just telling you what was done to get it all started. The charaters are almost Exact to the ones in the cube. Seem like the exact same move different title. id rent it first. They added one or two details but for the most part its the same.
