I thought this was one of the most tense films I've ever seen, can anyone suggest others like this and is it worth me watching the other two films?

just watch the sequels and make ure own mind up. r u that important that u cant spare a couple of hours to watch films in a franchise u so clearly enjoyed.
theres lots of cubes and traps. some die some dont. and yes theres tension.
thanks,
are you that important that you can't take the time to type out full words?

He was asking an innocent question.
shareIMHO the sequels are not that good, but worth watching if you really enjoyed Cube.
There really are no other films like Cube, and that is one of the reasons it's so good.
You might enjoy One Point O (a.k.a. Paranoia 1.0) it has that claustrophobic kafkaesque thing going on.
Let me know if you find anything interesting.
Awesome, thank you, I'll check it out

Exam (2009) is another movie with a similar concept to Cube. Very intriguing film. Watch it.
shareGood Call, just finished it and I loved it! Was very engaging from the first couple of minutes.

The first Saw film is a lot like Cube. I actually found Cube by trying to find other movies like Saw.
"The Simpsons"
1989---2014
Rest In Peace My Friend
I'm not so fussed on Saw, the fist one was interesting but I think it tries to shock the viewer by being too graphic, I prefer tension and intrigue.

no way, the 2nd saw film is much more like cube than the 1st.
isolation, work together to get out etc...

Would You Rather (2012)
This plot is actually quite common if you look at the basic concepts, there aren't a lot of films that pull it off the right way though.
I could compare this film to the original Alien film, very much.
Also John Carpenter's 1982 version of The Thing has a similar dark atmosphere in closed quarters feel.
there are even films that aren't so Horror that have a similar feel in many ways. Lots of films in space have that solitude feeling, like the more recent film Moon, or of course the classic 2001:A Space Odyssey which you can't live without seeing.
As far as finding another good sci-fi film that involves solving a deadly puzzle to save 6 people's lives, not as far as I know.
Anyway, Good luck on your search, I should have answered this maybe during the day when I had a clearer head, than while I'm about to go to bed. I'm shocked that I've been able to form any kind of complete sentence.
If I think of any others later I will come back and let you know.
I'm actually working on a script for a film with a similar feel.
So I did do a bit of research to get a feel for what makes a film like this truly work, and the sequels to this film fail miserably.
There should never be an excuse of how low budget a film is if you have a solid idea, some good actors, and a willingness to be clever without the cash.
Vincenzo Natali is known for this, if you check out his other films you may not be disappointed. I really recommend Nothing, although his film Cypher is just okay. But I do recommend seeing Splice, if you're up for something a little bit different and a bit controversial. If you can keep an open mind I really think Natali did a great job with it.
Also if you so happen to get a copy of Terry Gilliam's Tideland there is a little treat on the second disk in the form of a documentary from Natali, definitely my favorite on Gilliam.
I guess I'm not too tired to ramble...but I never really am. anyway, obviously all of that information is going to be on imdb.com anyway, so I'm out of it enough to give you pointless information ... and continue rambling...
Good luck on your search, it's a great premise for a film when done correctly.
Wow cool thanks for all the info.
Tideland, Cypher and Splice, I've seen them and loved them so I'll definately check out 2001 and the thing, not so sure about the alien tho, I've had a deep fear of them ever since my little brother had one of those alien figures when he was younger, it totally scarred me for life lol.

May I ask do you know a black and white horror/comedy like the Cube where a door closes and another one rolls into place?
The film ends with a birdseye view of the rooms moving on.
The actors keep finding a different room behind the same door.
