Cube: 15th Anniversary Edition
Low-budget sci-fi shocker loses none of its charm in the jump to hi-def
Even a decade-and-a-half after its original release, Vincenzo Natali's ruthlessly efficient sci-fi shocker remains a textbook example of how to make the most of a miniscule budget. This hi-def outing's AVC 1.78:1 1080p encode isn't what you'd call glossy, but it captures the grainy nature of the source material. The audio, however, has been upgraded, resulting in an atmospheric DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundscape that belies the film's micro budget. Sadly, there are no new extras on this 15th anniversary release, just a brief interview with actress Nicole deBoer, storyboards and a commentary taken from the film's old DVD incarnation.
