How it feels

A prequel set before the first film. It shows the larger organization that runs the deadly maze of booby-trapped rooms. The story follows both the prisoners inside the Cube and the people who monitor them from outside.

What happens

Cube Zero is a 2004 Canadian science fiction psychological horror film written and directed by Ernie Barbarash, in his directorial debut. It is the third installment in the Cube series and a prequel to Cube (1997). The first two films take place almost entirely within the Cube maze, and Cube Zero is set in both its interior and exterior. It reverts to the industrial-designed, colored rooms of the first Cube, but with a refreshed and redesigned set. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
