Summary: Good movie, bad ending.
Review: "Black Circle Boys" is a good movie and certainly worth watching, but there were a few things wrong. While it's certainly possible that I might have missed something, where exactly did Kyle's parents go? He fights with his mother and then *poof*, they're gone. And the big conclusion...a kick and "You have no power", then a shot of Kyle in a pool. So he got back into swimming, then? How'd he clear up everything with the police? While it was a good movie, the ending felt rushed and greatly took away from my overall enjoyment.

Summary: After Reading all the Other Reviews.....
Review: After reading all of the other reviews I decided that I had to comment. As a person who has seen both Black Circle Boys and The Crow I would like to say that 1. I loved them both... I though that they were absolutly brillant (anyway, I just got caught in the moment) and 2. You shouldn't be comparing the two together because they don't share anything in common except that Eric Draven and Shane Carver both have long black hair.... So if you are looking for a great movie and you are interested in actually watching a movie ( it isn't one of those movies that you can put on and walk away for ten minutes and come back and still know what's going on) then this is a killer choice...

Review: Alright ill try to be honest on this one...ok....THE MOVIE ROCKED! expect for ONE just ONE part...you reading me? not two..not 16 One...alrighty then...the part that i didnt quite connect with is the ending of the movie where the ugly dude that sadly has to be the hero...kicks poor Shane in the face and tells him off...then runs away....THATS it! no..big,...BOOM or BOW! at the end just a real SIMPLE ending...but it doesnt mean that the movie sucks or isnt worth doggie poo in watching, cause i own it on tape for that much. i Pretty much LOVED the movie...cept for that ONE part. (Maybe its just cause i liked how Eric Mabius looked in that movie....) *shurgs* wasnt THAT bad of a ending ok?..The Rest of the reviews i think should tell you pretty much if you dont know whats it about.

Summary: Confusing yet close to home.
Review: Although the movie's reviews promised magic and mysticism, it in no way, shape, or form relates to dark arts or supernatural power. It is a good lesson in how the teenage search for acceptance and belonging can go wrong easily. Bairstow's character was perfectly matched for his acting style and Eric Mabius opened my eyes to just how versitile a role he can portray. If anything, you can gain respect for the Youth of America as we continue to struggle to keep our heads above the Ocean of Humanity. Donnie Wahlberg's cameo was a longshot from his New Kid on the Block days, but incedibly refreshing!

Summary: Two thumbs up
Review: Eric Maibus and Scott Bairstow have become fine young actors, and even their adequate performances cannot save this dismal, pointless, lurid and sadistic movie. Dee Wallace Stone should be ashamed for participating. Maibus plays the hypnotic leader of a teenage devil cult, with no conscience, morals, or regard for anyone but himself; Bairstow plays the usual "misunderstood" teen who looks to the group for acceptance. The script is laden with offensive four letter words in every other sentence; enough is enough. If this is the way teens talk, then steer me clear, folks. There is no heart or soul in this movie, and no reason to rent or buy. NO STARS. C'MON AMAZON, WHEN YOU GONNA GIVE US THE 0 STARS OPTIONS???

Summary: the best movie
Review: Here's a very disturbing little film. It's about a young guy called Kyle (Scott Bairstow White Fang 2, The Postman, Party of Five (tv)) whose family moves to a new (and boring) little town and he ends up attending a new high school -- trying to fit in, trying to deal with being the new guy and also trying to cope with the death of his best friend. He goes from A student to loser in forty-five minutes, giving up being a top athlete in exchange for the acceptance of a group of heavy metal wannabes and large amounts of drugs - virtually everything from pot to lsd to crack. His life spirals out of control. He ends up joining the BCB who are a small group of these high school losers who practice an invented brand of Satanism in the wooded state park behind the high school. The group's leader Shane (Eric Mabius (Party of Five (tv), Lawn Dogs, Welcome to the Dollhouse) is severely disturbed and influenced by drug dealer/fence Greggo (Donnie Wahlberg yeah, that one -- New Kids on the Block, baby) who is the local Temple of Set devil worshiper who recruits local high school losers and gets them to rob houses for him in exchange for drugs.The plot moves along slowly as Kyle sinks into this realm of madness, but once there, it spins wildly out of control -- there is much violence (including sick satanic rituals where the Shane kills a cat and then they dig up a skeleton) and even murder. The acting is superb, and makes the overall effect of the film that much more disturbing. Where are first it appears to be just another high school nostalgia film (heck, it looked like my high school), it becomes this horror film -- but way too realistic. One keeps asking, "where are the parents, where are the cops" as these lowlifes rampage through the town pillaging and killing and just making all sorts of mayhem. In the end, Kyle must fight the demons which are pulling him under, and the second half of the film chronicles his attempts to overcome the darkness which threatens to consume and destroy him.

Summary: Pathetic!
Review: I can see 13 year-olds liking it, but more mature audience will find it totally laughable and rediculous. I can't believe I even sat through the whole thing. The main characters are absolutely pitiful suburban highschool teens, lacking imagination for anything but mindless vandalism and drugs. There's hardly a scene in the movie in which they aren't either doing drugs or being stoned. Another thing: THERE'S NOTHING GOTHIC ABOUT THIS MOVIE! There's not a single gothic band in the soundtrack, (which is mostly some metal moshpit nonsense plus Pearl Jam, yuck!) and the characters are anything BUT goths. A sad misconception started by the Crow...
