There is a line in the Oscar caliber film "Spawn" where the evil clown, says "How come Heaven gets all the good fellas, and we're left with the retards?" That pretty much sums up this film. Black Circle Boys is a story of a kid who is depressed because one of his dumb friends fell 10 feet and broke his neck while they were drunk, so instead of moving on with his life, like most teenagers, he decides to blame the world. From there the kid starts doing drugs and hanging out with the social rejects who just happen to worship Satan. Despite my previous comments, Black Circle Boys is really not a bad little film in aspects of writing, directing or cinematography, but the acting mainly by Scott Bairstow, the lead, is horrible to the point that its almost funny. His mannerism and acting abilities are limited to the fact that every time he is on screen, which is every 30 seconds in this film, he reminds me of a schizophrenic 12 yr old girl who is coked up on speed. Eric Mabius, on the other hand, known as Shane in the film does a great job playing an eccentric Satanist and is almost too good at playing the role. Overall this film has very, very little rewarding value and really is not worth your time, though if you're a Satanist or would like to see what a blood ritual is, go for it. Just remember this film is sh*tty. And you have been warned.

I have to admit I really liked this movie, especially since I was so sure it was going to be pretty awful. And it very well could have been, if it wasn't for the great cast of unknowns in this film. Eric Mabius went on to do more high profile work in movies like Cruel Intentions and Resident Evil, but I think his performance as the psycho bad boy Shane Carver in this film outshines them all. Scott Bairstow also does a great job as the good boy turned bad because of the death of a close friend. It'd be nice to see him in something else. I agree wholeheartedly with the other reviews of this film, in that it starts strong and has great direction, but the ending is very cliche, turning into a few deaths here and there, and a convenient turnaround for the main character. Despite this fact, it is still an enjoyable movie. Also, the very good, albeit small part played by Donnie Wahlburg makes me wonder why he doesn't get more roles, as opposed to his no talent brother Marky Mark. Also, Lisa Loeb is listed in the opening credits, but I couldn't place her until the 3rd time I saw this movie. She plays "Angry Woman" and is only in the movie for a few seconds, and is gone faster than you can say "cameo".

Oh, the joys of telecinema. This is, on one level, one of the worst movies I've ever seen, not so much from an acting perspective as from a script/plot perspective. Supposedly based on a true story, it's more like a male version of The Craft, only with a gay Donnie Wahlberg. On another level, though, it's practically a parody of itself and all those anonymous diaries you find in the bookstore about kids who fall into lives of drug abuse and Satanism.The movie is meant to be serious! And frightening! But it's more the sort of movie you'll want to get drunk with your friends and laugh at, particularly if you've got slightly twisted senses of humourA superb good-bad movie.And that Mabius kid's kinda cute.

This must have been one of the worst films I have ever seen, even Titanic has better acting than this...Anyone who thinks about watching this movie:don´t do this to yourself, it were the most boring two hours of my life!!! It is not only the acting, also the image given of the Gothic Movement is absolutely exaggerated. This movie should be on the index!!!!!!!!!
