Rating: ♦♦♦♦◊
Six different people who have never met before and who have nothing in common suddenly wake up in a strange glass labyrinth consisting of an endless number of adjacent cubical rooms with hidden deadly traps.
What is it?
A prison? Another reality? Some kind of an insane experiment?
Yesterday these people lived their normal life and nothing portended the nightmare, and today they have to solve puzzle after puzzle which are all parts of the greater brain-twister. They have to move from room to room, trying to escape the unexpected traps. Their existence narrows to one aim – they must find the way out of the maze before they all go mad or die of hunger and thirst. This task requires all their skills and talents, and they can't afford to leave anybody of them behind – even the weakest, even the silliest. Their only hope is to co-operate, to join their efforts and to find the solution of the puzzle.
The ultimate suspense, the claustrophobic atmosphere and inexplicable horror before the face of the unknown and unexpected do not depart from the viewer up to the very end of the film, and impel the mind of the audience to search desperately for the key to the mystery of this gigantic cube.
