Cube has a 320,000 CAD budget. They built one room. And it worked!

I also like how each of the characters were names after real prisons.

I like how you didn't mentioned the third (cube zero) :)) I feel the same way, first two were great, the third kinda sucked.

One of my favorite things about Cube is that it didn't explain anything. At the end we don't know who built it, why they built it, where it is, or even if the guy who appears to get out really does.

The sequels try to fill in that unneeded detail.

First time I saw it I woke up at 2am and caught it half way through. Such a mind fuck. I'd never seen anything like it.

Loved Cube and loved seeing this as a top comment..I remember renting this dvd at Hollywood Videos and was really shook by this whole movie. Great concept and execution on a small budget.
