Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Matt Kracht The plot: A crazy serial killer believes that he can harness the power of his victim's souls through ritual murder.Circle had a premise that, in capable hands, could rise to become an above-average genre movie, perhaps memorable for its outlandish ideas or graphic violence. In the hands of this inept crew, however, it turns into a horrible, boring, tedious, and stupid movie. I can not stress how boring and uneventful this movie is. Insipid dialogue, delivered without conviction or interest, takes up roughly half the runtime, while ridiculous filler takes up the remaining half. It's mind-numbingly boring. In the last few minutes, there's finally some action, but it happens so late in the movie, you'll probably be asleep. And then the movie abruptly ends. Now, I'm not saying that I wanted the movie to go on any longer, but the ending seems to serve as nothing but an open-ended cop-out, leaving open the possibility of a sequel. I can only hope that nobody is stupid enough to finance a sequel to this crap.There's a bit of sex, violence, and nudity, but it's so inept that you'd be better off looking for fan-made films on YouTube. I can't see any reason at all to watch this.
tmccull52 "Circle Jerk", if you'll pardon the crudity, would have been a better title for this bomb. The eye candy is all there... America Olivo, gorgeous, Kinsey Packard, beautiful, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Unfortunately, that's all that this film has to offer.I had been avoiding watching it because of the poor reviews, but then I realized that Silas Weir Mitchell was in it. I am a fan of the "Grimm" television series, and Mitchell plays the character of Monroe in it. He does a fine job of it with that character, and so I held out some small hope for "Circle" simply because he's in it. I've also seen America Olivo in a few other films, particularly in "Neighbor" from 2009. She played an over-the-top whackjob and serial killer in that movie, and while it wasn't much better than "Circle" is, she at least seemed to have fun playing the role.I know that we're supposed to suspend our disbelief, and perhaps pretend that we haven't already seen the premise of this movie in a gazillion other films in the genre, but you'd need something with the tensile strength of bridge cables to suspend your disbelief for this one.Nerdy bookworm type. Check.Nubile babes ripe for slaughter. Check.Obnoxioux alpha male beef cake stud that no one would find remotely attractive in real life but gets laid like crazy in this movie anyway. Check.Contentious, antagonistic posturing and behavior between different law enforcement agencies. Check.Nearly unstoppable, superhuman killing machine whom no one has a hope of stopping. Check.There isn't anything in this movie that hasn't been done better... much better... elsewhere. If you're reading these reviews and have not yet seen the movie, spare yourself. It really is that bad.
GL84 When a serial killer escapes from prison and returns to his childhood home, an FBI team races to stop him from continuing his rampage on the grad students who have moved into the home to conduct research on the very psychopath.A surprisingly decent and far more watchable slasher effort than expected, as this one manages to contain some pretty interesting and intriguing stuff than expected. This is mostly due to the rather fun times contained within the opening set-up, which not only manages to get them there in a pretty timely manner but also sets up their purpose nicely as to their investigation and discoveries around the house with typical slasher film expectations thrown in before it gets to the stalking and abducting, which are pretty creepy at times and definitely worthwhile. The only flaw to this, which really has a lot of good stuff about it as well, is that this stuff is running congruently with the team investigating the escape and his criminal past, which includes them butting heads with each other, trying to use their area of expertise to get ahead over the other and the eventual discovery that working together allows them to solve the case. It's all pretty cliché and definitely quite dull, but is odd since the slow unraveling of the clues and the puzzle of it all is pretty interesting and keeps the film going along nicely, but had this dropped the tons of clichés and put the crime-scene-investigation antics to a minimum this could've been much more enjoyable.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity, an obscured sex scene and drug use.
dee-brooklyn I am shocked that this wannabe horror/thriller movie, that is far from thrilling and just plain horrible rated a 5.6 out of 10 across 25 votes. Although it has elements that are very common to the genre, such as: large-breasted eye candy, a group of clueless and hare-brained young adults, it really struggles to put these elements together to form something worthwhile. While the acting is not terrible, it's far from good. The plot is mediocre at best and does little in terms of pulling the viewer into the experience. I found it hard to sympathize with the characters; partly due to their stupidity. I was also extremely disappointed with the ending as this whole movie built up to a very non-climactic resolution. Thumbs down all around.
