Review of "The Circle" starring Angela Bettis

Greetings Fellow Gorehounds!

While this is NOT a Horror Film; it does star Angela (MAY) Bettis.

While I'm a HUGE fan of her work...I'm not a huge fan of this film. It classifies itself as a drama but I found myself laughing at it more times than being drawn into it. Her characters emotions change faster than a Bi-Polar persons do.

It's shot it one continous take, with ZERO edits, so I have to give it some kudos for that. It is an artsy little film that I think takes a new spin on Dante's Inferno and the 7 circles of hell.

Shot on Digital Video with heavy use of a steadycam....so it gives you that 'You are there' feeling.

I'll always follow Angela's work....but I'm not really impressed with "The Circle" as a whole.
