Seen for the first time in November 2012
I watched "Strange Circus" in a state of hungover exhaustion. It's creepy but not unsettling, and entertaining. My mind was sort of fogged over while watching it, plus the dvd started skipping and the subtitles let out for ab few minutes during the climactic reveal. I'm pretty sure I've got the story, but I don't know what's "real" and what's real. I liked it more or less. It's entertaining, and despite the disturbing content strikes the right tone. Much better than this same director's "Suicide Club." Grade B.

Suicide Club
Seen for the first time in November 2012.
This movie was a little boring and unengaging to me. Toward the end, I began to lean on the fast-forward button a bit, so it would probably be unfair to say its a little non-sensical. Though, I think its more concerned about atmosphere than sense in and of its self. The real drawback is it’s concept of cool is, at this moment in time, probably at its nadir in terms of fashion. Movies should probably not even try to be cool however. Grade C.
