    Sadly, no juggalos were involved.

    Unfortunately, the title "Blood Circus" was wasted on a generic "underground MMA fight to the death" movie. Really, if you're going to call your underground MMA fighting to the death movie "Blood Circus", then you should incorporate some circus-themed activities: Juggalos fighting each other, MMA fighters dressed like clowns while fighting, MMA fighters dressed like clowns while fighting on a high wire, etc.

    Sadly, the filmmakers didn't share my artistic vision. The "circus" aspect never come into play. The "Blood Circus" is just a guy who I never believed for a second was a "former MMA champ" fighting an assortment of bums until he has to face off with "Santos", the mysterious "ringleader" behind it all. (Actually, I'm only halfway through the movie, so I'm just assuming he'll fight Santos. If he doesn't, I'll sure look stupid.)

    A very sad looking Tom Sizemore turns in a bizarre, lazy performance as a detective who, for some reason, talks as fast as possible. I guess the best way to describe his performance would be "imagine someone doing a really bad impression of Brad Pitt in Snatch, minus the accent."

    I try to say something positive about every movie I watch, so I'll say this: Robert LaSardo turns In a good performance as Santos's henchman. Oh, and all the actress are pretty cute, so there's that.

    Eric Weinstock never ceases to amaze me

    First Arlo: The Burping Pig now Blood Circus. When I heard he was writing a new film I was almost like Arlo; I burped joy and happiness. Eric is to screenwriter as Kendrick Lamar is to lyrical mastermind. This is the movie to watch. Forget about Black Panther, Blood Circus is what's up. All the cool kids in school are talking about this movie which is the best fighting film of all time. If you are a kid and want to be cool, you should get on your instachats and snapstagrams and talk about Blood Circus. Eric Weinstock; never forget his name. He also goes by eweinsto and Thor. Back to the movie. Superb! Spectacular! Unreal! Exciting! Outstanding! One-of-a-Kind! Splendid! Superior! Those are only a few words to describe this beautifully put together masterpiece. Yes I said it , this movie is a masterpiece. The actors have great teeth, made great by the writer who also happens to specialize and making root canals disappear. This movie does not disappoint. I went through a full emotional rollercoaster throughout the entire movie. In fact, I loved this movie so much I started screaming Blood Circus in my sleep. (My beautiful wife of 13 years Adrianne told me so). On my way to work I started an Eric Weisntock chant. Yes I may be 40, but I am not ashamed about my life for this feature film.

    I would recommend this movie to anyone. I would rate it a 69/10 if i could!

    PS: There should be a video game about this movie. Forget Fortnite, this game will be so much more popular

    Eric Weinstock has done it again!!

    An incredible film written by, you guessed it, Eric Weinstock! I am a very harsh grader, but this film just simply exceeded my expectations, and I would honestly give it a 10/10. Watching this movie was a nail-biting experience, I will never forget, with a plot twist you will never see coming! Definitely one of the best fighting movies I have ever seen. Great for the whole family, besides the young ones. A true work of art! This is what movies are supposed to be like! Incredible! Phenomenal! Brilliant acting and writing! I would definitely recommend this movie! Just simply, amazing.

    Impressive!

    Great film. A great idea executed to perfection. One of the best MMA films I have seen in a while. I would recommend.

    great idea, no substance

    What could have been a great plot is let down by some wooden acting. There is no depth or substance to the film and frequently actors look awkward and amateurish. As a previous reviewer said, there was a gathering of a few good actors but even they look lacking amongst the less experienced.

      Santos' threat to reveal the link to the police is meaningless. A video of a supposed murder isn't proof, since it could easily be faked. And, if there was a charge levied against Sean, Santos would be included as an accessory before and after the fact.
