Do reviewers here understand how to reviewer a film with the star rating?? Those who give this a 7, 8, 9, or 10 are LAUGHABLE saying this film is on par with such greats as The Godfather, The Shawshank Redemption, Society of the Snow, Pulp Fiction, etc. Really??? Have you lost your minds??? This purely is a 3-star movie, if that. I'm giving it 3 because the visual effects are decent and the girlfriend character is a better actress then this film deserves. I'll even go so far to say I could be convinced this is a 4-star film, but anything over a 5 is just the producers friends paying for good reviews. I had to leave this review after reading a 10-star and could not believe someone thinks that. Crazy, huh?

Octagon is not the worst movie, but it's not the best either. The plot is okay, I would even call it mildly interesting, with a man named Nicky attempting to tell and convince his girlfriend, Lora, that his nightmares are reality. The story doesn't really flesh out anything, and I was really confused by the end. The stories don't connect besides the ending scene and the overlying 'the boy is not a person' thing. Many points seem to be trying to allude to some supernatural being or world but I couldn't figure out what it was trying to say. I will say, I did watch this movie all the way through, and I am glad I did, but I was debating on turning it off after the first 20 minutes. I enjoyed some of the middle 'chapters', especially the Magician and the Woman, but a lot of them were very convoluted and don't explain events well enough to keep you interested, and the first and last acts are pretty weak. If Creepypasta, supernatural horror, and nightmare sequences are not your thing, skip this movie.

I've seen worse, not by much though. The gf is the best actress in the movie. At least she's believable, as the "star" is creepy, and not in a good horror movie way, either.
