Cube (1997)

Hey Cannon Cruisers fans! This week, we’re diving into Cube (1997), a Canadian indie sci-fi thriller that traps seven strangers in a deadly maze of rooms rigged with lethal traps. Directed by Vincenzo Natali and made on a tiny $350,000 budget, this cult classic stands out for its tense atmosphere and unique premise. We get into the film’s claustrophobic setting, sharp character dynamics, and the hidden meaning behind the characters’ prison-inspired names. From the clever use of numbers to the minimalist design, there’s a lot to unpack. We also talk about a key character shift that changes the tone and impacts the story. Tune in as we break down what makes Cube such a memorable entry in Canadian cinema.
