Circle (2015)


You'd imagine you'd woken up in the studio of a new reality tv gameshow - wouldn't you? - when you found yourself among a group of strangers standing in a circle voting each other 'off the island' by way of electric zaps from a central pop-o-matic dice bubble, but time is short - individuals are being killed off one by one every ninety seconds - so everyone readily commits to the idea they've been abducted by aliens like it's a body and voice warm-up exercise requiring complete commitment in an actors' studio, and so with the absurdity of the premise put aside, things become a waiting game to see who will be the last standing and to see how this quirky low-budget Cube-like sci-fi fantasy will make its "who are your draft picks for your super NFL team" negotiations worthwhile viewing to the end..
