As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Peeps wake up in a room with 6 doors - one on each wall, floor, and ceiling. None of them remember how they got there. Each room opens into an identical room, some with deadly traps.

Hilarity ensues.

That being said, WTF.

MacKay from Stargate: Atlantis is in it, so that was good.

I've seen it. I liked it.

There is a sequel called Hypercube that I've seen as well, but I didn't like it as much.

I've been wanting to see this film for a while, but no video stores around here have it, and it hasn't been on Netflix. Or did that change?

Saw it and liked it.

Bad acting, but the premise is interesting even if the motivation is never clear.

The cop's whole story line is terrible, like his acting. Ditto for the doctor.

Worth seeing, although for a 90s film, it looks like an 80s film.

Sequels are all worse. Not seen the original in forever.

Been making the rounds on TV.

I think it was spot on. The only thing missing was a dog for him to shoot up.

It's Canadian. I got tipped off when I saw Nicole da Boer (you have to remember her, G) and Wayne Robson (of "Red Green Show" fame).

The ending was unnecessarily drawn out. Who the fuck wouldn't bolt straight for the door?

To be fair, your opinion is about as unbiased as Spike Lee's towards white people or Michael Moore's towards Republicans.
