We see the strangers go from panicking to questioning their morals in selecting who dies next, to using prejudices to target or expose someone, to eventually strategizing their votes into a majority to deceive one another.

What would you do in that situation? Take charge and get the others to vote in your favor? Lie and deceive others? Feed them a sob story about your family? Or stay completely silent, and never even vote?

If you are looking for another horror movie to add to your Halloween film list, “Circle” is one to consider.

With all these big budget horror films dropping recently, my friends asked me if I wanted to see “Venom” during its opening week. Being the film connoisseur I am, it made perfect sense to bail on “Venom” and see a small time indie movie no one remembers or cares about anymore.

There is no worse fear for college students than avoiding working on their essay that is due tomorrow to watch some spooky films on Netflix instead. October is the month of horror after all.

“Circle” (2015) is more of a psychological story, so if you want to see something that’s eerie in concept, rather than jump-scare spooky town, you’re in the right place.

50 random people are trapped in a circle in a dark room. Every two minutes, they must vote on the next person to be killed. Touching someone, or stepping off of your spot, results in death. The death is dished out instantly by an electrical pulse from the center of the room that kills the player painlessly, so don’t worry about any gore if it’s something you’d want to avoid.

I’ve heard people complain that the film drags out its concept for too long, but I found the whole experience rather entertaining. Enough to watch the film three separate times on three different occasions.

It takes the concept as far as it can go. We don’t learn much about the characters trapped within the circle, as they discover that revealing personal information makes you a target for the other strangers, but there is more depth to the concept than you might assume.

It’s all the cathartic joy and interest in watching people lose their humanity and passion, without any overly graphic content for those of you with weak stomachs.

It’s also engaging whether you watch it alone while putting off the essay for just a little longer, or in a group with friends, catching a quick break before you get back to “studying.”
