At first I thought, that this could be at least a pretty good movie. The plot sounded intriguing and gave the idea of a nice fright. But as the movie went on I saw nothing but one cliche after another, and found myself laughing instead of hiding behind the sofa. Although it had some good scenes, they were not enough to save the entire movie. I've seen worse, but not much.
You gotta hand it to the producers of this movie. They knew their budget and their fan base. Luke Perry, Dan Cortese, and Olivia D'Abo haven't exactly graced the silver screen in recent years, but there's a generation of us out there that will always remember who they are. Those of us who do appreciate the 'Music Televised' 'Wonder Years' of '90210' then 'The Triangle' is good fun. What do you expect from a TV movie about the Bermuda Triangle that has strong resemblance to 'The Shining?' Leave your brain in the early 90's, make some popcorn, and enjoy.
This movie is so bad it almost becomes funny again.. I can't believe how many moderately positive comments this movie is receiving here. If you call yourself a movie fan, how can you keep a straight face when watching this, let alone be amused. Every cliché of 'scary, mysterious movies' is used here.
Pretty much everything has already been said in other comments, the Shining rip-off, the lousy acting, the predictability, the (pathetic excuses for) special effects.. I won't repeat everything again. This movie is laughably bad, in every possible way, please take this warning and don't waste your time!

Take the hotel from The Shining, put a bow and a stern on it, and you have The Triangle. Actually, this movie also reminded me a lot of the recently released Ghost Ship. How many movies can we make that feature the Queen Mary? I liked it. I watched it twice. If you're a fan of ships, mystery, ghosts or the paranormal you will too. I really think more could've been done with this film had it been made into a theater release, or direct to video. Another nice thing, is that it isn't gross, very bloody, and there are hardly any "language" issues. You can sit down with the family, pop the popcorn, turn the lights off and enjoy. You don't see that in many horror/ghost films anymore. I would ad it to my collection. If you decide to make this a choice for movie night, pick up The Poseidon Adventure and treat yourself to a double feature.
I Love all the old movies When I watched this I said I know this movie-It is from 1980-It was called Death Ship It had a great cast especially George Kennedy! Finally they made a nice remake!!!!
Did you know
- TriviaLe Vaisseau de l'angoisse (2002), released in cinemas the year after this TV-film came out, is sometimes considered a remake of this, but it is more likely that both films are simply independent seafaring homages/ripoffs of Shining (1980).
- GoofsThe ghost ship is referred to in dialog and in captions as "H.M.S. Queen of Scots", however, the HMS designation stands for "Her (or His) Majesty's Ship" and is a designation only for Naval vessels. A cruise ship may be RMS (Royal Mail Ship) or some such, but not HMS.
