User Reviews

Superb acting, and such a haunting film. I loved it!

I loved this movie. It has to be my favourite all time movie. The acting was superb, especially from Eric Mabius, who portrayed Shane Carver, the enigmatic leader of the 'Black Circle Boys'. His performance was brilliant - you found yourself almost in tears when he talked about his brother with such passion, and his 'boys', and yet hating him at other times when he was so horrible and violent. Scott Bairstow, who played Kyle Sullivan, also gave a brilliant performance as the lost grieving teenager, looking for comfort in drugs, religion and Shane Carver.
