What critics say influenced Cube
(Think of how distinctive and involving the people, caught in a somewhat similar predicament, were in Robert Wise's "The Andromeda Strain" without being "movie stars.")
From Harlan Ellison's classic short story "I Have No Mouth, And I Must Scream" to George Lucas' "THX 1138," it's all been done before and better.
A storyboard artist with "Johnny Mnemonic" among his credits, Natali has made several short films, including "Elevated" (1996), in which three people, trapped in an elevator, are menaced by an unseen force.
