11. Is He Dead?
12. The Return of Quentin
-----
The characters have no idea how they arrived there, or who has gone to the trouble of collecting them. They speculate if they’ve been abducted by aliens, or if the government has kidnapped them for some cruel survey. But the film never reveals the purpose of their presence in the cube, rather just forces the characters to confront the situation at hand.
The deaths are gruesome, but this isn’t a film about elaborate displays of gore. It’s about the clever use of a single set-piece, and about the mathematical logic that pertains to how they escape.
