Caught this one today on SyFy and while it was cheesy and stupid at parts, the crazy stuff happening at the show itself had me hooked. Like during the show Salma Hayek growing a beard while the people watched, and the spider that John C. Reilly had. Good use of CGI in this one.
The story was OK, could have been better, but I enjoyed it for the most part.

I heard nothing but bad about this film. I did hear it's a good one to sit back and make fun of though.

It's nothing I would have seen in the theater, it reminded me a lot of Jumanji with all of the effects, so there you go. Plus, it was really tough to buy John C. Reilly as a bad ass vampire, especially the way they had him look. But, I liked it for what it was.

John C. Reilly as a bad ass anything is IMPOSSIBLE to buy.

It's not really scary, but it has a nice creepy/surreal quality at times. I have a particular fondness for this flick and it's in my home collection. I'm looking forward to watching the sequal.

Yeah, I was going to say it shouldn't really be considered a horror film. While I'm not a big Harry Potter fan, I liked the Harry Potter type effects in the movie. I wished the whole movie could have been of the cirque itself. That was what made me keep watching. I like Jumanji too and this reminded me of it a lot.
My wife hates Jumanji and when she glanced at this movie yesterday, she said "man, you really watch some crap", lol. But, I liked it.

I like Jumanji, I don't think I'd like this.

Never know til you see it. Going from the trailer, I probably wouldn't have watched this, but when flipping I caught it at the right time, and that was it. I missed some of the beginning so now I have to rent it and watch it again.

I'd watch it, but I don't expect to like it.

A customer at one of my old jobs told me it was bad in a funny kind of way. I don't doubt that, but I don't ever see myself being bored enough to check this out.
