Horror-Spot: Triangle RE-Review


Triangle

By Jose

Plot/What it is about

After their yacht is overturned during a freak storm, a group of friends are desperate for help. A cruise ship suddenly appears and they see a figure looking down at them from the bridge for a few seconds. They climb on board but there is no crew, no passengers, nothing.

Note

If I were to properly review Triangle I would have to spoil the movie. I can give you the first part of the movie no problem. But once the cruise ships arrives and the survivors get on board, anything else I would write/say would spoil the movie.

Any good?

Triangle starts off with Jess (Melissa George) a single mother and her child. Her son we see is sick/autistic. She is cleaning while her son is painting. All looks well until the door bell rings. Jess opens the door and sees no one. Once back inside she seems rushed and is packing a luggage. Jess takes her crying son and gets into her car and leaves. Next we are introduce to the rest of the cast on a sailboat owned by Greg. Jess shows up following Victor (Liam Hemsworth), Greg asked where her son is, Jess says school. Ok. Once on the ocean all is well on the sailboat and everyone is having fun. Then the wind dies rather quickly. I mean a complete void of wind and waves. Then a huge dark bank of clouds approach. Then the storm hits.
The sailboat ends up overturned and one person missing. The survivors are left in the middle of a quiet calm ocean. Until the huge cruise ship appears. They are able to get on board. But what they realize is that they are alone. Or so they think.
This is where things star getting weird and people start dying. Jess is blamed. Yet the camera is on her at all time. We the audience are following her and she wasn’t any where near anyone. So what is going on? Who is that strange person with the jumpsuit and rags wrapped around their head. Why does she sound like a woman. Why does she tell Jess to “kill them all” after they were all killed. And who is screaming for help from the ocean? And when Jess finds out who it is we all just have to say what the WTF?

Final Thoughts

I love my horror movies. I love horror movies that make you think about what the hell is going on before it finally comes together at the end. Well the Triangle delivers that plus more. It does not take it easy on the viewer. It throws everything it can to mess with you and twist what you are seeing around. Then at the end when that twist comes and it makes you go “wow” it makes a 360 and makes it worse soon after. Loved this movie, but may not be for everyone.

Ratings: 4.5 out of 5
