Circle of Eight

This movie had me nailed to my seat. It is so wonderfully weird and bizarre in an awesome way. Throughout the movie you are left in the dark and can only guess and speculate about that is going on. At least I didn't fully grasp the events before the movie was ending.

The acting in the movie was good and the cast was good. The story of the movie - well, I am still somewhat left baffled. I got the general concept of the movie (which I will not give away here), but I somehow think there had got to be more to the story than that...

This movie is good entertainment, especially if you like movies that give you stuff to think about.

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.

Even the hint of style was 'crap' style: you soon get sick of shampoo-advert beautiful young people characters with skin deep characterisation (at least I do, maybe I'm just 'old' at 44). The supposed creepiness/horror does not deliver: minimal gore, no real sense of menace despite building the house up into something that is obviously 'supposed' to be creepy. Compare this to 'Hell House', the old hammer movie with Roddy MacDowell - utterly no contest! Soon you realise that NOTHING about this movie is going to deliver. I doubt whether even the two leads (who are obviously set up to fancy each other) even get round to a good f. to alleviate the pussyfooting boredom.

The end of for me came and half an hour, when the 'heroine' comes across a bloodied corpse hanging upside down. There's a brief flurry of panic where she dashes outside to alert some police who happened to be passing by. despite being believed by no-one, she soon recovers when offered a drink by square-jawed unshaven hero. WTF?? No sane person would want to stay on in that house, and would be shaken up for ages. All credibility lost. Goodbye.

No idea what happened after that, and I totally don't care.

PS: Ha! Having read all the other reviews now, I see I was right: would have been a total waste of time to stay with it to the end: this movie does not deliver on ANY level. I was even right about predicting that the obvious sex with the 'hero' would not develop into at least a good adult scene to relieve the boredom: you get cheated even on this.

All pathetic. Give it a miss.

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.

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.
