When indie films hit the spot they can really be something special; and Circle is one of those that deserves to become a cult classic.
The premise is simple - fifty people wake up standing in a circle around a high-tech looking device and have to figure out what the hell is going on.
There are very few special effects. It's all in the script and the performances.
At first I was quite interested but thought it might become too much like The Cube or Fermat's Room. It doesn't. Instead it manages to draw you further and further in by creating a constantly changing dynamic between the participants. Just when you think you understand who is who, something changes (either subtly or dramatically) and you have to re-think again.
I loved the way it played out. It had me gripped right to the end.
Give it a go. It's only about 90 minutes long. Intriguing and surprising.
