Reviews:

“It’s actually so bad that all the babbling and all the flashbacks do not allow any of the excitement to happen until there are only 20 minutes left of the film. Then you lighten the handbrake, and give us basically the same thing as the first original film did… It’s a bit of an anticlimax all over even if we were offered some really yummy deaths.” 2/5 Film Paradiset [translated from Swedish]

“Undoubtedly, it is inferior to the original, but it is worth checking out just for the production design and top-notch sound editing, which really enhances the viewing experience. It is an okay horror flick for one viewing only.” Watching Asia Film Reviews

The new Cube was apparently filmed in 2020.
