Circle of Eight

This is one of those films that foreshadows the upcoming disastrous events and i write this put of context with the film. Instead, the disastrous events are the damage to the brain caused from this shallow, pathetically acted film. There some films that are bad but still hold up some positive notes but with this one, you wish you never watched it at all.

Acting is poor, the characters are empty, the story is obvious with some cringeworthy dialogue pushing it on it way. The only saving grace is Ed whom, despite his sweet corn anecdote, he was fairly good in his role.

Guaranteed, there will be many unintentional laughs. The wardrobe collapsing at the end, the lesbians, Jessica's leg catching fire. Many laughs are to be enjoyed.

At the end of the film, it makes you think, What were the other six doing in this eternal loop of hell? Why are they involved? All i can say is don't watch this film.

What happened tot he story? It starts to build, then just goes phhhht.

It wasn't scary, it wasn't chilling or tense or horror.

It was actually boring and lacked any real anything.

Characters offered nothing of interest, story didn't build up, overall, it just didn't get off the ground to go anywhere of interest.

This was 2 or 3 rewrites short of being a thriller or a drama or anything.

The opening scene was OK, but then it just left you there...with this girl driving in a car, moving into a new building and all fizzled away.

Maybe the next script will be a better movie.

The film originally seemed interesting but by the finale I started thinking perhaps there was no point.

I like when films don't feel they must spoon-feed the audience information about what's happening. People are generally reasonably smart and movies claiming to be smarter often end up insufferable.

However this movie was different. It didn't shove information up the audience's nose, but as the credits rolled it seemed as though the movie existed simply to appear intelligent without actually being intelligent. I'm not sure even the people who wrote this knew/decided what the story was. I only know its nothing I'd watch again

In am utterly confused watching this show. From the beginning, it was okay, seems a bit interesting but as the story moves on, it doesn't make any more sense and bored me. The show centred on a girl Jessica and she moved into an apartment and apparently strange things happened, people died and she was scared. She panicked but no one believe her as the bodies disappeared mysteriously so she got no evidence... blah.. blah.. blah.. The gore is minimal and there is no horror or suspenseful element to this show at all. Even to the end it was still confusing and i don't know what this show all about. Deja Vu? Overall, poor storyline and poorly directed. Bottomed with below average acting. I would advise all simply don't waste your time watching this show. I have to rate it 2.

You know there are two types of movie watchers out there. Passive watchers who kind of just put a movie in and if the mood,day,lighting and everything is right they like it. The problem is with these people when they don;t pay attention to them a movie is "flawed" or "filled with plot holes". These are the people that, for whatever reason have short attention spans and spend more time trying to find similarities to other movies so they can call it a ripoff of something else(I mean isn't everything a ripoff of something else at this point?) then just sit back and enjoy.

Then you have the second bunch of people who when they sit down to watch a movie its like a ritual to them. And they may get really into the movies they watch. They don't want to talk during or discuss the movie while its on and they're not easily distracted to begin with. I fall in the latter group as do a few reviewers here. This movie is not bad at all and it definitely doesn't deserve its low rating.

I mean this isn't a cookie cutter movie, but it also doesn't take a genius to understand...just your attention span and 1 and a half hours of your life.

To possible viewers, no this movie isn't flawed, it isn't a flawed mess either. Everything is right there its just up to you to put the puzzle together. If you only like movies that are cut and dry with an answer for everything then you probably won't like this.

If you want to turn your mind off from the world, then this is a great flick. Don;t watch it with a bunch of friends though because it requires your attention.

6 out of 10 stars is an Honest to goodness revies for this movie that I expected to be in the 5-6.5 range.
