By this logic, The Cube is probably Liminal Horror, for a stretched definition of hallway.

Other bizarre possibilities for its classification could be :

  • Gothic Horror (the cube location is the cause of the horror)
  • Psychological horror (inverted, there's the lack of memories)

It also gets labelled as Sci Fi horror, but there's no creation.

I’d classify it as kafkaesque, due to the revealed origins of the artefact (though one could argue that that is, in its own way, liminal, emerging from neither here nor there).
