Crude but real and moving.

While watching this movie I couldn't stop thinking about "The Lost Boys". Well both movies have similar plots and even similar characters. The basic plot is even similar; involving a band of boys who followed the wrong way.

In "Black Circle Boys" we have boys who worship "The Father" and aspire one day to play on a famous rock club. They will do anything in order to please the father. Everything means murder, robbery, vandalism, etc.

This movie is raw and crude at some points but what I dug about it was the symphaty and sadness I felt for the two main members of the band. They are obviously misoriented boys who live on a dysfunctional family and do not know what to do with their lives. On real life, those kind of boys try to find warm and help on Satanic cults.

If this movie is based on true events, it's a very well done research and displays perfectly the sadness of teenagers that followed the wrong path just because of trying to find a better life.
