El barco fantasma

"You're just having a bad dream. That's all baby. It's all it was. Bad dreams make you think you've seen things that you haven't." 

Triangle is a very good movie about Melissa George's perfect legs, and how they...wait, let me try this again. 

Triangle is actually an effective, intelligent, layered horror/thriller (starring Melissa George's perfect legs). I can't go into the story very much, as there's not much detail that can be given out with ruining it. I'll just say that a curiously detached young mother and a group of people go out sailing one gorgeous day, get caught in a storm, and find themselves shipwrecked. A massive approaching ocean liner appears to bring salvation, but once they're on-board, it seems strangely deserted. Soon people start dying, and the plot takes a sharp left turn that puts it at a cut above the typical slasher flick that Triangle seems to be at first glance. 

I'll admit that I was a little underwhelmed by the movie at first, but it definitely gets much better as it goes along. I really have to give the movie credit for how clever and ambitious it attempts (and succeeds) to be. The best description of Triangle I can give without ruining anything is a combination of The Shining and Donnie Darko, with a really hot lead actress. It's mind-bending in just the right way. There were lots of different points that the story could have fallen apart and stopped making sense, but that never happened. By the end, there are no loose ends. And I'll add that the title is particularly meaningful. 

If you're open-minded, attentive, and ready for something slightly different, chances are that you'll love this movie. I certainly enjoyed it.

TRIANGLE is a story about regret, remorse, and second chances.

Jess (Melissa George) is on a sailing trip with friends when they encounter a freak storm that overturns their yacht. Jess and company happen upon what appears to be a derelict ship, adrift in the ocean.

Once aboard, it's not long before a murderous frenzy unfolds. This is repeated from various angles and points of view. Sound bizarre? It is! It's also riveting to watch, as pieces of the puzzle fall into place. If you've ever done something that you wish you could undo, fix, or erase completely, then this movie will hit a nerve. Ms. George is the center and circumference of the film. Watch her every move!

A wonderful brain-twister, this!...

The only reason I stumbled across this film, was because I watched a movie called Miine game, And everyone in the reviews was saying it was a wannabe Triangle. After watching both I can see why. When I first started watching it, I was ready to classify it as a typical slasher where everyone separates and does dumb decisions to keep the plot moving. Don't get distracted and mad, because after the first few poor decisions there aren't a lot that make you angry at the characters. It takes a minute to get going and It's hard to talk about the plot without giving anything away. It's more complicated than the movie Mine Games, p And sometimes that's good and sometimes it's bad. It gives you a lot to think about at the end but just when you think it's over it keeps going on and this keeps happening. I still have a few questions about it as it tried to tie up all the ends but a very enjoyable flick, and don't let the slow start fool you. You'll get into it.

I went to see Triangle on a whim hoping it might be thrilling, entertaining or fun at least. I love it when a film exceeds your expectations like Triangle did.

Mellissa George stars as the lead in a small cast of young people on a yachting break off the coast of Florida who encounter a mysterious ship with no passengers after their yacht is upturned.

What follows is a complex and superbly written mystery that unfolds at a perfect pace. I spent most of the movie trying to work out what was going on, trying to piece together all the elements of the storyline. Christopher Smith has clearly spent a long time putting this film together with an intricately crafted deal of detail. I was gripped from the moment the yacht capsized.

The lead performance is excellent, superbly holding the plot together; and the supporting cast are more than passable. If you're looking for something a little different and you're happy to pay close attention to detail for an hour and a half, then I can thoroughly recommend Triangle as an original, well written and directed mystery that will keep you guessing until the final scene.

8/10.

I remember the trailer for this movie, wasn't too impressed really. 8 Years later I stumbled across it and checked the reviews which seem overwhelming positive.

Sat down and saw it last night and it was a fantastic film. No gore, just pure suspense I could feel the butterflies in my stomach, you know its a good movie when that happens. Additionally I love movies that keep you guessing even when it's finished, which this did. There are only a few films that I would watch over again, this is one of them.

Just goes to show that you do need blood and gore, famous faces or a silly story line for a good flick. This was more than good and I wish they would continue to make movies like this. Well done!
