Dave Made a Maze (2017)

Dave is jobless. Dave was bored. Dave made a maze. In a weekend. From cardboards. In the living room. And he's stuck in the labyrinth. Which is larger on the inside... Dave's girlfriend + some of his buddies try to get him out. Complicated ordeal, because the labyrinth has traps. Some die. Some escape. That's pretty much what we have in this movie: 90% of it is completely absurd. Unfortunately it's a repetitive type of absurd, which gets boring. Besides, it also tries to throw from time to time towards the viewer also some metaphors on which provides also most often the direct interpretation (now, what's the best way to ruin a metaphor?...). To wrap this up - if the trailer gives you a vague impression that you'll get something close to "Cube", well... that's a wrong impression. More likely, the feeling you get after the end credits is closer to the most sloppy movie made by Terry Gilliam (let's pick "Tideland") to which we can add some puerile comic note. And even so, I think the result on that combination might end up better than what we have here...
