Still More 90s Movies 4: 1997-1999

I'll be adding to this as I go along.

1999 was the year I moved to Taiwan.  I'm still here, almost 26 years later.


1. Cube (1997)

I'd seen it before, but it had been a while.

In my opinion this is one of the more inventive horror movies, though I'm deducting points for the "drama class scenes" placed throughout the film.  Maybe they'd be confronting each other in that manner after hours and hours of walking through a giant puzzle box, but those moments needed to be earned.  As it is they feel like exchanges ripped from any number of disaster movies.

Fun Fact: There was a Japanese remake of this film in 2021.  The original was a huge hit in that country.



2. Deceiver (1997)

Tarantino-adjacent noir picture featuring Tim Roth as an epileptic man accused of murder.  The first 3/4 is pretty good, but the last 1/4 gets a little silly.
