Review of Black Circle

BLACK CIRCLE (2019) ** Felice Jankell, Erica Midfjall, Hanna Midfjall, Christina Lindberg, Hanna Asp, Johan Palm, Hans Sandqvist, Inger Nilsson. Intriguing but ultimately disjointed horror film about a pair of sisters who discover a supernatural vinyl record whose self-help mumbo jumbo unearths dopplegangers wanting to break on thru to the other side. Filmmaker Adrian Garcia Bogliano taps into many sub genres - Cronenbergian body horror, Lynch doubles, Craven dreamscapes, RING-like overtones (audio instead of video), INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS viscera and even echoes of giallo - and while it plays like a greatest hits of modern-day terror the film's final act is far too telegraphed and shrug-worthy.
