Directed by Vincenzo Natali. Written by Natali, Andre Bijelic and Graeme Manson. Starring Nicole de Boer, David Hewlett, Julian Richings and Maurice Dean Wint.
Plot: six strangers wake up in a cube shaped prison with no memory of how they got there and the cells are all booby trapped.
An ex-con, a cop, a doctor, a student, a mentally-ill man and an office worker wake up in a cubed shaped room. As they try to make their way out of the room, they only find other cube shaped rooms, most of which are booby trapped in some way. And everyone is such a little bitch in one form or another. I mean, there’s Freddy Claws because they do follow one another, but not without bitching the entire time.
It’s really a piece in the psychological reactions to stress. You only really ever see two of the traps do anything gruesome. It felt longer than it really was and we would have liked more story within that time. The acting was great though. It was original and realistic. The effects were cool and it was very tense. But I didn’t like the movie once it was put altogether. And DJ only liked it marginally more than me. So, watch it or don’t, but do skip the sequels. They didn’t hold up at all.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.
