It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Donald Seymour
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Lucia Ayala
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

First of all I must say that this is definitely NO HORROR movie, and it's not an art-house movie either... so what is it?If this was a student's high school film project I would be impressed, but this is supposed to be the work of a "indie-maestro" director??? Oh my... The "story", if you can find one, has absolutely no coherence and is really totally confusing. And in this case that is NOT a good thing! You do not WANT to think (or care) about what is going on in this senseless mess. If you are into weird confusing plots that make you think - go Lynch! Can't say a good word about the "acting" either, i totally agree with one reviewer who said that the best actor was the goat! LOLThe visuals... OK let's give him some points in that area. The cinematography is quite well done, there are some quite nice shots and it is really obvious that the director is into "eye-candy". But he's far too hard TRYING to be surreal and artistic, and ends up only RIDICULOUS. If you're into psychedelic visuals and surreal/symbolic Horror - go Argento or Ken Russel.There are also a lot of references to genre classics, which are really dilettantish or blatantly stolen. Unfortunately I also cannot agree to any comedy value, but i have to admit that i was laughing when the Jack-O'-Lantern "Demons" first appeared - unbelievable that this was meant serious!! Oh my...According to the director the movie is about eternal damnation, it's meant to be a nightmare that never ends - its not true - it ends when this shitty movie is finally OVER - thank god!!!This is just a "wannabe" pretentious NOTHING...I also suppose the very obvious correlation to massive drug abuse means you have to be in the same state to "understand" or really appreciate the director's visions... I rather would NOT, thank you!

Reverand Salo Jr. invites five teenage druggies who escape from rehab to come to his secluded house on a promise of salvation. Salo Jr. and his wife's daughter, Grace, is very unhappy, but keeps getting dreams and visions of her grand-father, Salo Sr. (Kreskin, whom I refuse to call him 'Amazing'). Some of the teens have adverse effects to the drug that Salo Jr. had given them prior to them breaking out of rehab. Both the plot lines will entangle before long. OK, about this film. Weird & obtuse does NOT automatically equate to scariness and Kreskin is not a good actor bring the whole movie down. Is it a bad film? That's debatable. Is it a good horror movie? hell no it isn't.My Grade: D DVD Extras: Director's Commentary; 9 and a half minute Behind the scenes featurette; on the set with Kreskin; Photo Gallery; "Desecration" video short; Extended Horror Trailer; and Trailer for "Desecration"

Tomaselli has essentially made every horror movie he has ever wanted to make by making HORROR (duh... I think the title says it all). Pretty darn good for a rookie director. But just like Lynch.... C'mon man don't make me watch the movie more than twice! It has now been viewed in my house 3 times, and guess what? THERE IS NO MEANING!!!!!! JUST FUN! YOU MUST SEE SUICIDE CIRCLE... YEAH YOU

I was glad to get a hold of the DVD of this movie and now own it. Although the dialogues in this film are very thin nevertheless the story was solid and it's very much like an experimental Stephen King type film. The stories take place at different times when some youngsters escape from a rehab and their guilt kills them all. Interesting seeing the Amazing Kreskin in his first acting role and a nice performance by Christie Sanford as the crazy Mrs. Salo who very much resembles a cross between Linda Blair and Karen Black. Oh and of course a great and effective cameo by Miss Felissa Rose as the Art Therapist and it was one of the most effective roles she had throughout the film and I couldn't see anyone else playing her role and it goes to show that no matter how small the role is you can easily leave an impression in the film and Rose received alot of exposure for her character.
