And yes... this story is somehow connected to the movie that is "Suicide Circle"...

*****

Holy shit, this is some weird shit that I am watching.

Geez, you get it but you don't. You know? Its... its... freaky.

This story, though connected with the other movie, is another movie by itself, with a different plot and different characters. What connects the two movies is a fine thread only.

But yeah, I like this movie better than the other. This movie shows how a normal, happy family could easily breakdown just like that if a family member took the wrong step or how fragile happiness is.

Rating:
3.5/5
