Low budget but highly entertaining!

Caught a screening of this at a festival in NYC. I have to admit, I was impressed. It's a low budget film but very high concept. It went a lot of weird places (hypnotism, psychics, doppelgangers, etc) but it was a real fun ride. A lot of original stuff in this one. Some creepy moments. Enjoy the ride.

Excellent 100% recommande

It is original, impactful, close, great. I have adored her, but I do not think she can be well seen by ordinary people that the deepest thing is to see a facebook meme. For the rest, I recommend it, it is really a pleasure to see it.

Interesting

Interesting at first but not towards the end. Original story, with some very nice images. A bit arty.

Enchanting experience!

Black Circle is an enchanting experience. A surreal nightmare, full of bizarre images and sounds, that are etched into the mind of the viewer. It's a bit like The Ring meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers, if Dario Argento had directed. It's an unpredictable film, unlike anything you've ever seen in the Swedish language.

Peter Strikland on Ketamine

Wow, this film just absolutely blew my mind.

From the opening 2 minutes you're in, like some kind of weird trance, it really does pull you in. Reminds me of Beyond The Black Rainbow with the 70's retro vibe of a Peter Strikland movie.

I loved every minute and had absolutely no idea what was going to happen next.

If you're into trippy films that take you to another place then this is right up your street

Trivia
In a 2018 interview with Filmtopp, Adrian Garcia Bogliano spoke about a specific casting choice and where the movie ended up being shot: "I wanted to bring back Christina Lindberg to the screen. I'm a big fan of revenge films and many years ago I saw Crime à froid (1973) and was blown away! Out of all the other films in the genre, that one impressed me the most. After that, I watched pretty much everything she has starred in. I love her strange and unique presence. I talked to Rickard Gramfors, her manager and the producer of Svart Cirkel (Black Circle), about making a movie in the United States. We were trying to develop the project for a couple of years but it didn't happen, so we decided to film something in Sweden instead."
