I have a soft spot for weird movies (even bad ones) that 100% committed to the bit. I'd rather see a new idea that falls a little flat than be stuck with the same recycled ideas in perpetuity. "Circle" is one such weird little guy (and no, we're not talking about Netflix's popular reality competition: "The Circle") that I had a lot of fun watching when it came out in 2015, and when "Squid Game" burst onto the scene a few years later, this offbeat psychological thriller immediately came to mind.
A group of strangers find themselves caught in an ominous game where breaking the rules means death and only one can survive — sound familiar? Only instead of playing Red Light, Green Light or Tug-of-War, the "Circle" contestants must decide among themselves who will be the one to live. The "12 Angry Men"-inspired low-budget project has become a fan-favorite indie horror film in the decade since, but you don't have long to watch it on Netflix before it's gone.
