This movie is a great, non-traditional desert-set thriller/horror movie about an abused woman who finds herself stranded in an eerie parallel world filled with creatures that have a taste for human flesh.

Really beautiful cinematography, two great leads and a puzzling, twisty, spiritual mystery.

Circulation is a thought provoking, stimulating, resplendent film. I have seen the movie over a handful of times and everytime have discovered a new device the director uses to add to the intricacy of the plot line. Ryan Harper has done a superb job leading his audience into a journey of the afterlife, following Ana's delicate rebirth as a caterpillar to Gene's resurrection as a spider. Harper does an especially eloquent job presenting the viewer with an array of personalities that captivates and intrigues. A beautiful film with stunning cinematography and an excellent storyline, I encourage everyone to view this film or better yet, buy it to watch over and over!

Saw Circulation at the Roxie in San Francisco earlier this year and plan to catch it again at a showing Dec 14th, in Fremont, CA [...]. Am hoping to pick up a signed copy there, but if not, will be ordering it from Amazon after. Makes me want to take a trip down to Baja and check things out. Great movie even if you're not into horror as it has a real plot too.

Best part: lots of cool cinematography.
Worst part: Not at all scary but very funny (especially if you're sitting with two commenting guys named John in Nebraska). This is the first feature film from Ryan Harper which explores interesting concepts of the afterlife unfortunately budget constraints makes it tedious and farcical.

I've never seen a film like this, it's totally original. The plot isn't obvious and it reminds me of some sort of mix between David Lynch and David Cronenberg. It takes place in Baja California, Mexico and from the first line of the movie you know that the male lead is dead - although I felt unsure through the whole movie if you're watching something that takes place in the afterlife or in the normal world. But by the end of the movie I got it. In the last minute of the movie, I realized that the main character didn't understand what was going on either. Over the next few days I couldn't stop thinking about this movie and watched it a second time...it wasn't until I watched the movie again and the last scene finished that I realized that I really love this movie.

I was so appalled to see good ratings for this film I had to weigh in. I just finished CIRCULATION and it was the most mind-numbing, soul-bleaching experience I have had. If I could give it zero stars, I would.

It was worse than 30,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA. That movie was just stupid. This one fries your brain with nothingness.

This is not a horror film. There is no thrill, little blood, a lot of stupidity and really dumb dialog. It doesn't even play with your head like a psychological thriller. It just... sits there and hypnotizes you with boredom.

There is no element that would make me want to watch it again and again. It was desert, an old truck, a guy who shoots cannibals who aren't even bloody and a woman whose destiny is to become a CATERPILLAR.

Comparing it to David Lynch is blaspheme. David Lynch would not even use a pseudonym for a film like this one.

I'm sure there are lofty themes of rebirth here, but I'm out for a good horror flick, not 88 minutes of my life I desperately wish I could get back.
