In this teen-oriented horror movie, Kyle (Scott Bairstow) is a high school swimming champion who sinks into a depression after the accidental death of his best friend. When his parents, Ken (Bruce Bur... read more read more...khartsmeier) and Barbara (Dee Wallace-Stone), move the family from California to Washington State, Kyle falls in with a group of kids led by the mysterious Shane (Eric Mabius). Eric and his friends wear lots of black clothing, take drugs, and listen to loud Goth-metal music, but the full extent of their "rebellious" streak doesn't become evident to Kyle until he discovers that Eric's clique is actually a Satanic cult. Music fans may want to keep an eye on the supporting cast, which includes former X leader John Doe, singer-songwriter Lisa Loeb, and one-time New Kids on the Block heartthrob Donnie Wahlberg as a drug dealer. Black Circle Boys appeared on home video at roughly the same time as the mass murder at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Eric Mabius is just beyond words funny in Black Circle Boys. Scott Bairstow is also cool as well- about a bunch of misfits who decide to start a semi-goth band but end up in a sticky web of intrigue that involves murder, black magic, and pseudo gothic-industrial music. Spectacular.

    People you may know in the movie: Scott Bairstow, Eric Mabius, Donnie Wahlberg, Lisa Loeb (she?s the gal in the club who yells at Shane-took us a while to figure that one out) Evil Is?. As Evil Does. I don?t know what my sis & I were expecting when we rented this movie, but it de... read morefinitely wasn?t this! Supposedly based on a true story, Black Circle Boys is a film exploring teen angst, black magic, drug use, & devil worship. I think what got to us the most is the fact that we could be considered the Black Circle Sisters (without the murding?wink wink, and drug use). It?s one of those films that we have practically forced all of our friends to watch. There seems to be a ?conspiracy? behind the film. When going to rent the movie for a friend to watch who lived in a different town, we had to go to 3 different places before we found an available copy. At one of the places the movie had been stolen, the other it was rented out. From the 1st time we rented the Black Circle Boys, we had almost sole custody of it from the place we rented from. But we did notice that there was someone else who would snatch it up whenever we couldn?t afford to rent it. I own my own copy now!!!!! YEAH!!! There are quite a few scenes in the movie that are so funny it?s hard to believe, but I?ve read many reviews that say the film is told with a disturbing level of honesty & believability. Which I just don't see myself! It?s a stupid movie really, but I love it anyway! For some reason, any movie that makes me think it should be on Mystery Science Theatre I love. At any rate, I would and do recommend checking this film out (if you can find a copy ;) !), it just might get added to your list of favorites. Why it's still on mine is up in the air.
