ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
pumpkinking-4 Without giving anything away, let me first say the so called buildup was pathetic. Leading to an ending so bad I actually threw the DVD out a window. I wish it was legal to sue the makers of this film for wasting that much of my life watching this train wreck.I've read someone claim the acting was good. Yes, if by good you mean huge gaps in time where nothing is said at all, actors obviously reading off cue cards, and actors who mumble lines to cover saying the wrong things.This movie has the feel of something a group of kids make to show all their friends. There is little to no blood, the violence factor is laughable, and although this is supposed to be a cult flick, it fails there too.They seems to be a huge abomination of direction in this movie, and many times it feels lost inside it's own lines. The characters flip flop their acting, personality, and roles a few times, but always remain lifeless and shallow.You going into the movie not caring about anyone, and leave hating the movie for ruining your time.I'd rather watch paint dry than this heap of horrible film again.
cwatts-2 There is a line in the Oscar caliber film "Spawn" where the evil clown, says "How come Heaven gets all the good fellas, and we're left with the retards?" That pretty much sums up this film. Black Circle Boys is a story of a kid who is depressed because one of his dumb friends fell 10 feet and broke his neck while they were drunk, so instead of moving on with his life, like most teenagers, he decides to blame the world. From there the kid starts doing drugs and hanging out with the social rejects who just happen to worship Satan. Despite my previous comments, Black Circle Boys is really not a bad little film in aspects of writing, directing or cinematography, but the acting mainly by Scott Bairstow, the lead, is horrible to the point that its almost funny. His mannerism and acting abilities are limited to the fact that every time he is on screen, which is every 30 seconds in this film, he reminds me of a schizophrenic 12 yr old girl who is coked up on speed. Eric Mabius, on the other hand, known as Shane in the film does a great job playing an eccentric Satanist and is almost too good at playing the role. Overall this film has very, very little rewarding value and really is not worth your time, though if you're a Satanist or would like to see what a blood ritual is, go for it. Just remember this film is sh*tty. And you have been warned.
Pooey Pie I bought this movie truly based on the appeal of the cover, I watched it and it was one of the best films I have seen. My only complaint is that the main plot could have used a little more 5hit. Oh well, I enjoy the movie on a very high position. ALL HAIL ERIC MABIUS!!!!!! Satanism wasn't the basis of this movie, it was paganism. And I like that. Way too many cheesy movies about satanism, never about something real. Eric Mabius acted his very best in that movie, and I believe that was the reason I love the movie so. Scott Bairstow as the all American kid was extremely convincing. I would also like to thank the sick f'd up dude that wrote it, because he rocks. YEAH....All hail me. And Gibson, you are my b1tch. Snoogins.
SugarMalone An extremely slow and uninteresting portrayal of teen boy angst at its most irritating. Poorly executed and overwritten to the point that the film probably could have been cut down to one hour had all of the extraneous characters and repetitive dialogue been taken out. Add the fact that not one character in this film - including the protagonist - was the least bit likeable or relatable and you have almost 2 hours of my life that I will never get back.
