The Triangle (2001)

Stop!

This is NOT a movie that you want in your collection. I know that opinions can be many, and me myself -well, let's just say that I'm not very picky about movies involving dicovery of lost liners when there is something mysterious and "spooky" containing in the story. But this is too amateurish, from a distance the ship looks like a papercut added to a movieclip of the sea -if you get my meaning. The effects(?) are so not convincing, the script ok, but that doesn't save this movie from sinking...

Just take my word for it! It's like a bad Baywatch-episode! April 9, 2005

A little Titanic, Speed 2, and House on Haunted Hill

(Warning: may contain some spoilers!)This movie is about a group of friends who decide to charter a fishing boat for a day of fishing in the Bermuda Triangle. Then during their trip, the engine breaks down, their instruments go haywire, and they become engulfed in a hazy, yellow fog. Then when the fog subsides, a massive ocean liner, the SS Queen Of Scotts (a cheaply animated, rusty version of the RMS Queen Mary), which disappeared in 1939, appears and the friends find their way aboard to find a radio to get help, to find a machine part for their engine, and one of the men is looking to salvage some gold, jewels, and money from the purser's safe. Then their boat vanishes and they're stuck aboard a rusting old ship, (that looks like the a banquet hall with party stuff and miscellaneous pieces of junk just strewn about, very cheap). The group then tries to find out what happened to the ship, and it is something pretty sinister, though it is not fully explained. Then a ghost boy leads one of the friends away and gives him a heart attack, the evil in the ship drives the greedy, fortune-hunting, friend crazy and he starts trying to kill off the rest of the group so he can take the valubles from the safe. Eventually two of the people kill the insane friend and jump overboard, but the evil in the ship does not want anyone to escape so it drives the ship after them but they are able to get away and give the movie a literally Big, Explosive, ending.

I thought this movie was pretty good, despite its cheesey, tv movie status. It had its small problems, such as plot (which was still good but not too good). And the characters were not that likeable, I don't know if it was their acting or just the character but some of them were just not very interesting.

Overall, though, it was a very good movie, I really enjoyed seeing what the Queen Mary would have looked like if it had been lost in the Bermuda Triangle (at least the exterior). The interior sets looked okay, but were rather cardboardy, as said, and the engine room and bridge were almost as good as new, despite the fact that the ship had been at see for fifty years.

Anyway, the movie was pretty good and I rather enjoyed it, so if you like big ships sinking/exploding, horror, and/or a Bermuda Triangle mystery movie, this one is the one for you. August 7, 2002

The Triangle...Fwahahahaha....

The Triangle is a movie with multiple facets... mystery, intrigue, horror...

Follow a group of friends as they make the biggest mistake of their lives, and boy have they ever made mistakes on trips. When they decide to fish in the Bermuda Triangle, something evil has its own ideas. The group comes upon an abandoned ship, lost in the triangle for years, and the evil breaks lose... The group quickly begins to fear even themselves on this ghost ship. Watch as they fall apart, and then watch as two of the originals are rescued... 4 years later...

What better setting for a good mystery than the infamous triangle, and what better prelude to evil than an encounter with a wicked voodoo priestess? You'll watch this again and again! February 26, 2002
