Lisa ligger på en öde väg, sörjande sin dotters död. En bil kommer körande, och med viss tvekan tar hon emot den skjuts som erbjuds. Men efter en kraftig inbromsning slår hon i huvudet och svimmar, och när hon vaknar befinner hon sig i ett märkligt närverk av trånga metallrör. Det enda hon är utrustad med är en klocka som räknar ner tiden, och varnar henne för de fällor tunnlarna är utrustade med. En klaustrofobisk skräckthriller i samma fåra som Cube och Saw-filmerna.

My quick rating - 5.9/10. If you catch other reviews before this you will read "Saw" meets "Cube" which is only half correct. This is "Cube" but in a maze of tunnels with traps abound. There is no "Saw" element to this movie in the slightest. This isn't a bad thing, though, since this movie provides a tense horror/thriller nonetheless. One thing to note, half the movie is in English, the other half is in French. Subtitles will help, but don't worry about exact translations; there isn't much dialogue. Gaia Weiss is basically our lone actor in this one, and she handles the role exceptionally well. No way a story such as this works with an actor not up to holding the screen completely. The story itself does make sure to leave you with a whole lot of wondering, though. I am positive this was done on purpose and lets the viewer answer the questions on their own. I would say Mathieu Turi is a name to keep an eye on after viewing this. Even with the open-ended things you are just not sure about, such as how she got into this mess, you still have a good feeling coming out of it. Unless you need to have a bow on top of your present in an ending giving you all the answers. Then you may be pissed since you do not get that at all. The sheer claustrophobic feeling of this one made me think of "Crawl or Die" in being completely stuck all the time in these tubes (not quite as well done, but maybe they took some notes). Each turn in the pipes leads to another trap, and you are never really sure if she is getting closer to an escape or just roaming around in circles. An enjoyable and unexpected treat for sure, just don't expect any of the gore that "Saw" is known for. As I said, they have nothing in common.
