Triangle (2009) Movie Review
11 December 2009 8:45 PM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Christopher Smith’s “Triangle” is a clever, tightly plotted supernatural thriller that, towards the end, actually feels more like a slimmer, more condensed version of a Paul Thomas Anderson drama than the third feature-length film from the guy who gave us “Creep” and “Severance”. The film is not nearly as gory as those other two, but it certainly packs more emotional punch and requires more of an investment in the old noggin to get through. Although yes, if you missed anything the first time around, you will benefit from a second or even third viewing, but to be honest with you, I’m not sure if you’ll want to take that plunge because, well, “Triangle” isn’t exactly the kind of film that lends itself to repeat viewing from an entertainment standpoint. One trip was certainly more than enough for me, and I suspect it’ll be the same »

A synopsis for Triangle here:

Her suspicions are heightened when the yacht hits a storm and the group is »

Christopher Smith’s Triangle Region 1 DVD Cover Art and Specs
9 November 2009 8:30 AM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Speaking of Melissa George, ever wondered what happened to her and director Christopher Smith’s mind-bender of a horror movie called “Triangle”? I’ve been dying to see this thing ever since I heard the premise and saw the trailers for it, and it’s a shame the film has bypassed theaters completely in the States. Oh well, there’s always the DVD. In this case, the Region 1 DVD from First Look Studios will land Stateside on February 2nd in standard DVD and Blu-ray. Alas, the DVD specs are pretty barebones, which is a shame, because I’ve found that crew audio commentaries are usually the best things about horror movies. More often than not, they tend to have lots of fun making the movie, especially if the film turns out to be pure crap, though I’m sure “Triangle” doesn’t fall into that category. Probably. Then again, I haven’t seen it yet, »

New stills from British gothic horror Black Death
6 November 2009 6:21 AM, PST | 24framespersecond.net | See recent 24FramesPerSecond news »
This one pretty much does what it says on the tin. We’ve tracked down some new stills for Christopher Smith’s upcoming gothic horror - starring Sean Bean - Black Death. Those in the know will recognise Smith’s name as the brains behind several of our fave horrors of recent years, among them being the recently released ‘Triangle’ and the hilariously dark, horror comedy ‘Severance.’ Still in post production, Black Death is due out next year. Annoyingly we can’t direct link to the pics as they’re embedded in a Flash slideshow. But here’s how to see them. From the link select “completed films,” “fiction,” then “Black Death.” »
Triangle (Film Review)
26 October 2009 4:05 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Triangle starts out with a premise that would fit any Sy-Fy original: when passengers out on a yacht hit sudden stormy weather, they seek refuge on a mysteriously abandoned ocean liner. You've seen it in Virus, Ghost Ship, Ghost Voyage and a dozen other bad movies. What you don't expect is where writer/director Christopher Smith is going with it and the compelling lead performance by Melissa George.
After they abandon their capsized yacht, Jess (George) and her friends come aboard the ocean liner, which has food, drink and everything they could possibly want. Unfortunately, there's also a bag-headed killer picking them off one by one with a bloody ax. Who this killer is and their motivation for targeting Jess and her friends is the interesting twist in Triangle.
It's a time travel movie, and they are slated to keep dying again and again, unless Jess can figure out a way to break the cycle. »

Christopher Smith's Favourite Cult Horror Films
20 October 2009 1:25 AM, PDT | Rotten Tomatoes | See recent Rotten Tomatoes news »
Bristol-born director Christopher Smith is fast cementing his reputation as one of the most exciting British horror directors working today. Making his directorial debut in 2005 with Creep, he showed that there were scarier things on the Tube than a sweaty armpit in your face. His follow up, Severance, proved that Smith was just as adept at laughs as at scares. His latest, Triangle, starring Melissa George, is played purely for mind-bending chills, and tells the story of a group of people who, after running into difficulties whilst yachting, take refuge on a seemingly abandoned cruise ship.

Vampire Diaries star takes trip to Cradlewood
15 October 2009 9:45 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Vampire Diaries’ Ian Somerhalder will star in Cradlewood, a Gothic fantasy being produced by Hand Picked Films and Instinct Entertainment. He’ll co-star opposite Australian actress Emma Lung (soon to be seen in Christopher Smith’s Triangle) for director Harry Weinmann, who was previously an FX artist on films ranging from Lifeforce to Race To Witch Mountain.
Scripted by Lost Things’ Stephen Sewell and Bathory’s John Paul Chapple from a story by Weinmann, Cradlewood casts Somerhalder as the heir to a great fortune who also believes he has inherited a legendary family curse thanks to a pact with a demon: Whenever a boy is born into the bloodline, the father dies—and the man suspects his girlfriend (Lung) is pregnant. Though set in Boston, the film will lens in Melbourne, Australia, with Michel Shane and David Redman producing. “We see this is as »
