Black Circle Boys

1997 ·1h 41m · ★ 4.5 (18)

A young man moves to a new town after experiencing a tragedy and becomes involved with a gang of Satan-worshipping teens who believe they have supernatural powers. But by the time he realises he’s in too deep, it may be too late to escape.

Why it matters

A grim slice of ’90s indie horror that channels suburban dread through a satanic teen cult’s escalating menace.

  • Early indie exploration of youth nihilism meets occult obsession, predating later cult classics.
  • Raw, grounded performances give the teenage cult a disturbingly believable edge.
  • Practical effects and low-key suspense lean into atmosphere over spectacle, amplifying unease.
  • For fans of slow-burn cult horror with a ’90s regional indie vibe—think a grittier, less polished The Craft.
