Review of Circle (2015)

Thoughts before I watched this.
1. I always enjoy these little hidden gem competition style horror films
2. There are a few pretty cool cast members like Julie Benz or Carter Jenkins
3. This is the only movie written and directed by Mario Miscione and Aaron Hann.
4. They had a TV show called The Vault that was on 2011-2014 with very few episodes and nobody recognizable.
5. I'm not expecting to much from this with that bit of info.
6. What I do expect is that this will be a somewhat interesting take on this kind of story.

"Held captive and faced with their imminent executions, fifty strangers are forced to choose the one person among them who deserves to live."

Thoughts while I watched this.
1. I wonder how it's possible everyone is sleep standing.
2. Oh man did not see that all coming.
3. There are so many different rules here.
4. It's interesting to see how long certain people last here.
5. This kind of reminds me of a movie I watched called The Human Race (2013).
6. They both are interesting concepts on a low budget that manage to keep your attention.
7. Man this is cold blooded!
8. You really never know what's going to happen!
9. Man it's kill or be killed and you better not have an error about you.
10. The dialogue here is quite interesting especially all the topics that they cover about society.
11. It's interesting to see how some of the group is becoming desensitized to the happenings around them.
12. No sin is greater than another in God's eyes.
13. That was awesome and brave.
14. There are a few likable people in the group.
15. You even kind of want the unlikable people to last a bit longer for the drama.
16. Wow some people are so good at this!
17. I definitely would have been either one of the first to go, volunteer, or possibly go unnoticed and be close to last.
18. I never could have imagined people to make the choices that were made here.
19. Whoa that was totally unexpected.
20. That ending was great!

Thoughts after I watched this.
1. I love the twists and turns throughout.
2. The acting was pretty good for it being mostly unknowns.
3. The writing was excellent and to me was well thought out.
4. I always enjoyed these types of stories.
5. For a movie that takes place in pretty much one spot with mostly dialogue this was quite suspenseful.
6. It very much caters to society as a whole with all the topics they cover on why certain people should live or die.
7. That to me was probably the best part about this being not only a suspenseful film but a social commentary in a way as well.
8. If you like smart stories with good twists and turns then I recommend giving this one a shot.
