Seven strangers wake up in a prison constructed of cube like cells which seem to be constantly reconfiguring in some mysterious pattern. They try to figure out why they are there, what exactly the cube structure is and then eventually how to get out. It transpires that some of the cubes contain nasty booby traps but as the tension rises it is clear that the greatest danger is each other. This is a brilliant, claustrophobic horror which shows just what you can achieve with a low budget, a simple set and a great script. The direction is inventive and the philosophical musings on human nature and life's struggle give the film an extra edge.
