4.0 out of 5 stars Not the Berumda Triangle - But Something to do with Death, April 28, 2010

This review is from: Triangle (DVD)

I'm surprised how many folks gave this film a bad review. I think this is only because the film was marketed to the wrong crowd so the wrong folks are watching it. This is not a Bermuda Triangle, Freddy Kruger, or Friday The 13 type of horror, Sci-Fi or slasher flick. Triangle is more along the lines Mulholland Drive, Angle Heart, Memento, The Shining or even Repulsion.

I will say for the first 15 minutes or so the movie seems kind of lame and for a time things may not seem to make much sense as characters make bizarre decisions - so you have to stick with it.

But once Triangle kicks in (I wish I could tell you how and why it kicks in - but your better off not knowing anything about this film) Triangle is a really good, nightmare of a film. Carefully and lovingly staged and edited by the filmmakers with very good performances photography and soundtrack.

The entire cast is excelent. The cast are playing American archetypes (not stereo types) - If you are an American who lives near the ocean you will instantly be familiar with these folks of various classes and relationships. All the actors are flawless in that they do not draw attention to their acting but instead simply become the characters - which is the ideal. Of course Melissa is a standout but her character Jessie is the focus - they were all great.

From reading the reviews I think I may be one of the few that understood the ending and the plot and if I'm right this movie is even better then most people think. A real "hell" of nightmare.

Highly recommend this film for fans of puzzles, non linear plots, off kilter cryptic stories and eye opening, disturbing endings.

5.0 out of 5 stars A mind-bending deja vu experience on the high seas!, May 27, 2010

By 

Haunted Flower (Indianapolis) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Triangle [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

"Triangle" was written and directed by Christopher Smith. A small group of passengers on a sailboat meets very strange weather conditions and have to jump onto another ship to discover more mystery than they could have bargained for.

This is one of the most thoughtful scripts I have ever seen in a movie. Every scene, every line of dialogue is there for a meaningful reason and several portions will click later on so this mind-bending experience will give your brain a lot to chew on. Melissa George stars as Jess, mother of autistic child, Tommy (Joshua McIvor) who just wants a nice day off to relax and go sailing, but things are going wrong. There are tensions on-board the boat since Greg (Michael Dorman), the captain is being set up with a girl his friends brought and the most mysterious storm any of them have ever seen creeps up suddenly and capsizes the boat leaving them stranded when another boat drifts by and they climb aboard. But where are the passengers?

Without giving spoilers away, an intense psychological dilemma ensues as Jess is locked into a series of events that push some hard choices. The best part about this movie is trying to figure out how much Jess is locked into her fate and how much she can change about her circumstances. Melissa George has a LOT on her plate here in terms of screen time and difficulty and does a phenomenal job showing the downward spiral as the pressure begins to get to her.

If you like "Memento" or "The Prestige", you should check this one out because it has a few similar ideas to see how far you would go for something you want under assumed conditions. Excellent film!

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent B-rate horror film, but don't expect too much, July 9, 2010

By 

Adam (Suburban Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Triangle (DVD)

This movie is certainly one of the more unusual ones I've seen, if not the most misleading (in terms of promotion). The cover art (depending on which one you look at) shows what appears to be some psycho-killer flick with probably a lot of blood and gore, or some weird ghost romp on an abandoned ship in the Bermuda Triangle. I honestly wouldn't have watched it had I not read reviews that implied it was hardly a cheesy remake of Friday the 13th on a boat. For a lazy Friday afternoon, I figured it was worth a shot.

For the first twenty minutes, I seriously thought all those reviewers had been lying. "Triangle" had the makings of an overdone psycho killer on the sea. To summarize, Melissa George's character (a single mother of an autistic child) has apparently taken her son to a special school so she can join some friends for a day cruise on a sailboat. Calling them "friends" may be an overstatement, as the group consists of a guy she met at the diner she works at (who invited her along) and all his friends, who don't think to highly of her. They head out to sea, hear a strange message over the radio, and are abruptly overrun by a storm that capsizes their boat. After the storm, all seems lost until an eerie old cruise ship appears from nowhere and stops for them. Despite seeing someone clearly aboard from afar, they find the boat empty, minus some blood and bizarre messages on walls. Then, people start getting killed... rather quickly in terms of plot, I might add. It was turning into that campy slasher flick I didn't want to watch and, had I stopped there, that's what I thought it would have been.

But, things shifted gears. Drastically. It turns out that everything revealed to us thus far is not what it seems. I won't spoil the twist, but I will emphasize that it makes the movie significantly more interesting. To make things better, it is hardly the only twist in the film, and the later one is even more shocking. By the time film reached the end, I felt very satisfied with the 2nd and 3rd acts. It left a lot of unanswered questions.

Overall, I give this film 3 stars. It still had the makings of a B-rate film, which I am generally not a fan of. Following the twists, the movie got superbly better, but the 1st act significantly weighed it down to the point where it left a bitter aftertaste. While I can appreciate the ending, the 1st part needed to be direly improved. I suggest saving this one for a rental.
