The Shasta Triangle

I found the concept of this film to be very interesting, and despite some reviews on vfx, for it being what I assume is a micro budget indie with a sub $250k budget, they're pretty good. The camera work was really beautiful, especially the drone shots which provide an expansive feeling to the forest setting. I'd like to see what could be done with this story on a budget it deserves, and see how the character development could also expand in that arena, as I was hungry to understand the father-daughter dynamic more than the friendships between the primary and secondary characters. I feel that with a longer story and runtime aligned with most features (perhaps 90 minutes), some key plot points could have been further clarified and developed. Overall, I think it was a great microbudget effort and could see this on SyFy.

And I'm not happy about this. Just don't waist your time...

The film opens like we're about to embark on a classic X-Files episode mixed with Stargate SG-1 and it delivers on that tone. Some great moments for lovers of indie SciFi films.

Right, well this 2019 movie is listed as a fantasy, horror and sci-fi movie, and yeah it does have elements of all three, but it hardly made for an entertaining movie.

I had no idea what I was in for when I sat down to watch the 2019 movie from writers Barry W. Levy and Helenna Santos. So I entered the movie with an open mind. Turns out that I was in for a prolonged ordeal of a movie at the hands of director Barry W. Levy.

I can honestly say that I have little or no clue as to what the purpose of the storyline in the movie was. It felt like director Barry W. Levy just made up things as filming progressed.

As for the acting in the movie, well it was adequate performances, especially when you take into consideration that the actresses had virtually next to nothing to work with in terms of script, storyline and characters. In fact, I just finished watching the movie, and I can't honestly name a single of the characters in the movie by name. Yeah, the characters were that pointless, bland and nonessential.

I suffered through the entire movie without an ounce of enjoyment falling from the stem of the movie and into my lap. Why I endured the entire movie, was solely because I wanted to see if just a little bit of any worth or interest would eventually happen throughout the course of the entire movie. I didn't!

I am rating "The Shasta Triangle" a mere three out of ten stars, and the reason for it getting three and not just one is solely because of the production value that the movie has to it. It definitely feels like a proper movie and the spirit behind it was there. Just a shame that the executed was botched by having nothing in terms of storyline and characters.

There are far better mystical movies out there if you enjoy a good thrill. There really is no reason for you to sit down and suffer through the ordeal that is known as "The Shasta Triangle".

I never wrote a review but just had too take a bit of time to warn potential watchers. I watched this movie based on reviews here. Bad move!! More than 40 minutes of this movie is pointless talk between the actors and a lot of bitching. Not a great idea to cast only women to see them behave like teenagers. Woman deserve more! As for the acting, it's less than so so... The cinematography is bad. The plot takes totally illogical turns in the last 10 minutes. Their are critical pieces of the puzzle that are never addressed. The story telling is bad!! I give it one star for the concept. This movie could have been sooooo much more, even on a low budget.
