About this movie

In a massive, mysterious room, fifty strangers awaken to find themselves trapped with no memory of how they got there. Organized in an inward-facing circle and unable to move, they quickly learn that every two minutes, one of them must die… executed by a strange device in the center of the room. At first, the attacks seem random, but soon the strangers realize that they, as a group, have the power to decide who will be the next to be killed. A vote. A chance to control the machine. But how can they choose who deserves to die? And what happens when there's only one person left? Circle is a film about people and what they do under the worst possible circumstances. A film about what makes us human - who we are, what we believe, and ultimately, the lengths we will go to save ourselves.

The movie Circle has a good concept to it. 50 strangers killing each other off by selections, votes, and past experiences that they almost have to tell in order to survive. The ending was a huge twist to me, so I didn't expect it coming. I rate it a 5 star because it's the first Horror/Sci-Fi movie I've seen and it's pretty good.

It was a very decent movie. There could have been a lot more backstory but it went well without it. SPOILERS AHEAD The people in the circle could have been more methodical with their votes instead of killing off a random person most of the movie. They could have also shown another circle in which they figured out how to get multiple people out, just so it adds that feeling that both the child and the pregnant woman could have lived but didn't. All in all great movie though

Circle might be the scariest movie I have seen. I thought Grave Encounters might have been but this takes the cake I'm thinking. I felt like I was in the situation, and the whole film keeps you guessing all the way, and pulls you in right at the beginning. The ending is a mind twister. It may not be done that well, some acting might be a little off, but some is good, and the film in many ways is done well. It's a timely one too. It is an interesting one.
