My new mission here in life, is to make people aware of this amazingly good film. Triangle is way too underrated, and should be applauded for so many different reasons. The acting is, in my opinion, flawless. Everyone involved helps with making the set very believable. The film deals with stories we all have seen before, but still makes it very unique and so interesting to follow. I found myself guessing and guessing, right up until the end of it. It's a bit of a mind twister. Even the title Triangle has more than one meaning.
Rated R for violence and language.

"BECAUSE EVERYONE'S MAKING ME GIVE THIS A SECOND VIEWING CAUSE I DON'T LIKE IT...you know who you are :P"
-earlier.Now:
WOAH WOAH WOAH, I just read Adam Cook's review about Triangle and it just made me love the movie, in an instant. It has such a deeper meaning than just a mind boggling, horror film, where you just feel completely confused at the end, like me the first watch.but...HOLY SHIT!
If any of you are going to check this film out, read Adam's review.Everything in this film has a meaning and I suggest everyone to watch it a second time!
Melissa George is perfect, JUST SAYING!

Note: I think Triangle is one of those films where it is best to go in without any previous knowledge, so I promise not to give anything away. I'm just going to talk about my general reactions and hopefully they won't make too much sense until you see the film, which you should.
Triangle is about a group of loosely associated people who decide to go sailing for a day. They come across a mysterious ship and things happen. I'll leave it at that. It is a high concept thriller, and surprisingly, pulls everything off when all is said and done. Not to mention, it has some of the best twists and turns that I've seen in a long time.…

TRIANGLE is the most intriguing, engaging, and subtle adaptation of a Greek myth ever put to screen. A day in the ouroboric life of Sisyphus. Fuck, that would be a shitty punishment.

Film #13 of the June Challenge
I went into Triangle expecting a horror film. The introduction would give off that vibe, but this movie is really a high concept thriller. So if you are like I was, I would suggest changing your expectations a little bit so you don't end up disappointed for not getting scared. That being said, if you plan on watching this movie, I would also suggest going in cold. The less you know the more rewarding it will feel afterwards.
I was pleasantly surprised with Triangle. The movie follows a group of people who go for a little sailing trip. A storm hits and causes their boat to capsize, and they find themselves boarding a passing…

Mind bogglingly good, this movie takes elements from various genres of horror and creates a great psychological thriller. Particularly the seemingly endless symmetrical corridors reminded me a lot of the hotel corridors from the Shining, a little detail that just adds to the overall effect of the setting.
A very unique film that is well worth the watch -
Despite plot inconsistencies and some generic acting, 'Triangle' is a very unique and clever piece of work.
The film goes the Donnie Darko route with time-paradox-infinite-loop mindfuckuppyness that really serves the film well here.
It could've gone the easy way out by making it a simple masked killer horror movie (*coughthepurgecough*), but instead decided to do something different. And that really works.
I'm sure everything makes sense once you study the film in detail, but there are more basic questions that need to be answered like[SPOILERS]
'Why didn't she turn the ferry around to the shore instead of waiting for the boat?' or 'why didn't she wait till she left the house before she beat her head with a… -
Movies about timetravel are awesome. If you don't agree, well fuck you. Though Triangle isn't really about time travel (or is it?), it has pretty much all the elements i love about timetravel-movies. Figuring out a more complex storyline, searching for possible paradoxes, ... Also, this film really made me think of Timecrimes, the spanish timetravel movie by Nacho Vigalondo. I don't know whether it's like a tribute to, or if they kind of stole some ideas from it. Or maybe the similarity between those two is just in my head (I should rewatch Timecrimes first)

Dieser Psychohorrorfilm zeigt, dass man auch ohne großes Budget einen der spannendsten und originellsten Horrorfilme der letzten Jahre abliefern kann. Nach einem etwas zähen Einstieg findet der Film seinen Rhythmus und liefert gekonnt einen bitterböses Erlebnis jenseits aller bekannten Horrorfilmklischees. Gekrönt wird das ganze von einem denkwürdigem Finale, dass einigen Raum für Interpretationen lässt.

I like this a lot. It's a very interesting movie. I have to think about what's going on. There are a lot of scene really shock me. It's pretty crazy. I like the story a lot. It's a great movie.

Highly enjoyable time travel movie. Has a couple really good moments that caught me completely by surprise, the first is when she starts hearing the screams from the yacht where she and the others came in and the second where she follows Sally into this isolated space where there's dozens of dead Sallys, really great image.
