A Horrify(ingly BAD) film
After scanning several reviews, ('One of the best mysteries lately,Fascinating movie, Very good & intriguing...brilliant (?!?!) movie…'), I thought I'd give it a try.Oh, what a dumb thing I did.This is easily one of the worst movies I've seen in a while.The makers of this dreck thought they had a 'clever-clever' idea, with this whole play on a variety of things - from it's title (as in Bermuda Triangle), to the Greek myths, and to other films about repeats in time, such as 11:59 (remade as Groundhog Day), and on, and on….snore…The central character, Jess, played by Melissa George, has one of the most irritating personalities I've come across. Instead of feeling anything positive towards her, I just wished, she shut up.The story in a nutshell, is: a bunch of people (who really have no connection to each other - so why are they getting on a boat together???) go on a yacht trip.The yacht encounters freakish weather, and capsizes. All of the sudden, a mysterious passenger ship appears.While it's quite clear there's NO ONE on-board (to the viewer), these people decide to get onto it. No one helps them to board, but, that doesn't appear to seem unusual to them.They wander, and all this stuff happens, involving a masked person - apparently the only person on board - who kills them.Our 'heroine,' Jess, tries to plead with the others (in the most irritating adenoidal whine - nails on a blackboard are less annoying then her drone) to get off the boat.Of course, they don't, and, well...without giving the 'plot' (of what there is) away, I will say it has something to do with multiple time-lines playing out.What does our intrepid Jess do, when she sees this masked baddie (who she soon finds out, actually is)? She...HIDES.Instead of just approaching this person, or doing anything common sense, she just hides and whines to the others, saying things like; 'you just gotta believe me, you gotta trust me,' which, of course, they don't.The 'shocking' ending - the 'twist,' as it tries to be, is so poorly plotted, that film school 101 teaches you NOT to do idiotic stuff like these filmmakers did.TRIANGLE is not the worst picture I've ever seen, but, I feel like I've been ripped off. Of an hour forty-five minutes of my life.
