A bizarre, distressing B movie...definitely worth a look., 20 May 2005
Author: bukakkefriedchicken from fabulous Las Vega$!

Yvette Mimieux could easily give Dyanne Thorne's "Ilsa" character a run for the money in her performance as the steeley-eyed, procrustean head of a "progressive" ad agency, the executives of which are encouraged to participate in a voluntary job enhancement program at a desolate retreat. With their spouses in tow, they are subjected to emotional, physical and psychological torments of many types, a technique which initially seems to have surprisingly positive results.

"Circle of Power" is a sadly neglected gem, made even more intriguing by it's allegedly true accounts. A unique film...and with a premise as outrageous as this, surely one that's fit for a cult audience.

7/10....exceptional, and not easily forgotten.
