A bizarre, distressing B movie...definitely worth a look.
20 May 2005
Yvette Mimieux could easily give Dyanne Thorne's "Ilsa" character a run for the money as the steeley-eyed, procrustean head of a "progressive" corporate empire, who encourages a group of ambitious desk-jockeys to participate in a voluntary job enhancement program. With spouses in tow, they're shuttled-off to a desolate and heavily-staffed purlieu where they endure various emotional, physical, sexual, and psychological torments. This sadistic Pavlovian technique initially seems to have surprisingly positive results, until some in the group realize this as the result of shattered spirits.

CIRCLE OF POWER is a sadly neglected gem, especially intriguing for its allegedly true accounts. Savage, unique...and surely in wait for a cult audience.

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