Cube is a 1997 Canadian science fiction psychological thriller/horror film directed by Vincenzo Natali. The film was a successful product of the Canadian Film Centre's First Feature Project. since its release, it received a cult status. Much of the film's appeal lies in its surreal, Kafkaesque settings; no extensive attempt is made to explain what the cube is that the characters are confined in, why it was created, or how the people were selected to be put inside there, and the movie remains without any answers. A man named Alderson wakes up in a cubical white room with a hatch door in the... center of every wall, the floor, and the ceiling; 6 doors, one on each side. He opens every door in the room and discovers that every room next to the room he is in is identical, except that they are different colored. After a little thinking, he decides to proceed to the next room. He enters the room colored orange. As he tries to move, he is suddenly cut to pieces by a razor-sharp metal grate that swings down from the ceiling, and returns back up.
