Once again, this is why you don't look into the Ark of the Covenant.

As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.


  • Right from the outset, we're given a stark impression as to how gristly this film will get. The first death is of an unfortunate occupant walking into a room and getting sprayed with some mysterious liquid. Not long after, he starts melting in full gory detail (that's what's pictured, by the way) until he's eventually reduced to a nasty, slimy puddle of flesh and bone sludge. Eugh.
    • He doesn't just get the solution on his skin; he drinks some of it, thinking it's water.
  • There's one scene where Meyerhold explodes after being blasted with extremely powerful sound waves. He's pushed into a room that then locks and has sound generators appear from the doors that immediately begin to torture him with a continuous sound burst that gets increasingly louder and more powerful. He's screaming all the while as this happens by the way, until he just explodes into a shower of blood that goes all over the walls.
    • We're even given a perspective shot of the room as this is happening just to demonstrate how loud this sound is - his screams are hardly audible.
    • That bit about sound being able to liquefy a human if powerful enough? Real.
    • Even more terrifying is that it was a Mercy Kill. Holy shit...
  • The fate of Wynn. He is recaptured and awakens to find himself on an operating table with his skull open. Jax tells him that because of his escape attempt, he will be "modified" before being placed back into the Cube; those "modifications" are really just them giving him permanent brain damage. It's heavily implied that this is what actually happened to Kazan from the first film.
