Search - Triangle on DVD

TRIANGLE is one incredible film, a personal view of one woman's descent into hell. I can't really say much more than that, because the story is so intricate. It builds, layer upon layer until the powerhouse ending.

What do you do when your world is ending? Where do you go? And whom do you take with you?

TRIANGLE is one hell of a ride. One not for the faint of heart.

Board onto TRIANGLE. And when you look in the mirror, don't blink.

Good - But Unoriginal if You've Seen TimeCrimes

"Triangle was good, but with one catch: It has already been done as a movie. Save for the film's setting and story changes, the film's concept was taken from the 2007 movie "Los Cronocrímenes", also known as TimeCrimes.



If you haven't seen Triangle, I won't spoil it by pointing out the obvious similarities between the two movies. While Triangle was well shot and well-acted by Melissa George, the film's concept would have been much more powerful if I hadn't seen it before. The exact moment that the ship's killer is first seen, I immediately knew where the story was going. Even the killer's disguise was entirely borrowed from the TimeCrimes story.



Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed watching Triangle. Certain elements of the story are unique, and I was happy with the cast. But ultimately, the film lost most of it's spark once I realized that the film's main concept was borrowed from a popular sci-fi movie from Spain. So while Triangle is worth checking out, I would absolutely suggest that you watch TimeCrimes as well."

Not the Berumda Triangle - But Something to do with Death

"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.

A TRIANGLE TWIST INDEED!!!!!!!!!!

"WHEN I SAW THE TRAILER TO THIS MOVIE,IT LOOK VERY INTERESTING ENOUGH TO BUY SO I PURCHASED IT ASAP. THIS MOVIE DEFINITELY LIVED UP TO THE TRAILER PREVIEW. LEAD ACTRESS MELISSA GEORGE CARRIED OUT THE MOVIE WITH SUCH A GREAT PERFORMANCE. I DO NOT WHAT TO GIVE THE PLOT AWAY ESPECIALLY THE ENDING. I DO RECOMMEND TO LISTEN VERY CLOSELY TO THE MEANING OF THE STORY WHEN THE CHARACTERS ARE TALKING ABOUT "AEOLUS" THE GREEK GOD OF THE WINDS AND FATHER TO "SISYPHUS". IT EXPLAINS A LOT. I WATCHED THE MOVIE TWICE TO PUT ALL THE PIECES TOGETHER AGAIN. SO PLEASE AVOID THE NAYSAYERS REVIEWS. THIS MOVIE HAS MANY TWISTS, TURNS AND CIRCLES, LEAVING THE ENDING TO ITS CLIMAX TO "SISYPHUS". IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS BUY THIS MOVIE, IT IS A SUBLIME ADDITION TO MY LIBRARY COLLECTION."
