Cube is a 1997 Canadian science fiction horror film directed and co-written by Vincenzo Natali.[8] A product of the Canadian Film Centre’s First Feature Project
Cube gained notoriety and a cult following for its surreal and Kafkaesque setting in industrial, cube-shaped rooms
The cast is of Canadian actors who were relatively unknown in the United States at the time of the film’s release.[10] Each character’s name is connected with a real-world prison: Quentin (San Quentin, California), Holloway (UK), Kazan (Russia), Rennes (France), Alderson (Alderson, West Virginia), Leaven & Worth (Leavenworth, Kansas).[11]
This is Natali’s directorial debut, as of now, I don’t think we know any other of his films that hit as well, so let’s call him a one-hit wonder, at least regarding feature-length films.
