Triangle (2009) Movie Review

»
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

• First Look has set a February 2 street date for Triangle, the latest film from Creep and Severance director Christopher Smith. The movie will be issued on DVD in both a limited edition with lenticular packaging (left image below) and a standard edition (right image below, which will also appear on a Blu-ray release).
Triangle stars 30 Days Of Night’s Melissa George (pictured) as a woman who goes on a yachting trip with a group of friends that is interrupted by a storm in the Bermuda Triangle. They are forced to board a passing ocean liner which appears to be deserted—but of course, it’s actually inhabited by someone who starts bumping the group off. The movie will be presented in widescreen with 5.1 Digital Surround sound, plus cast and crew interviews. Retail price is $28.98 for each DVD and $29.98 for the Blu-ray; see our advance review of Triangle here.

Christopher Smith's Favourite Cult Horror Films

| Rotten Tomatoes

»
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.

Frightfest 2009 Review: Triangle

»
The 10th anniversary of Frightfest kicked off in style last night at the huge Empire Cinema in Leicester Square, a more than fitting venue for another year of the best, strangest and bloodiest horror films from around the world. Better still that the slate launched with the world premiere of Brit director Christopher Smith’s Triangle. Somewhat appropriately his third feature, Triangle, is a fantastical, psychological horror that follows Creep and Severance as another alternate slant on familiar genre conventions. Triangle tells the story of six friends on an ill-fated yachting trip in the Atlantic that goes awry by way of a freak storm upturning their boat. When a huge liner, the SS Aeolus, happens upon them there’s some short-lived relief as they seek refuge from the ocean aboard the mysterious ship. Once on deck though, it proves deserted and the unaccountably disturbed Jess (Melissa George) has a decidedly creepy sense of déjà vu.

Frightfest 09: Review of Christopher Smith's labyrinthine yachting horror Triangle

Year: 2009
Directors: Christopher Smith
Writers: Christopher Smith
IMDb: link
Trailer: link
Review by: Ben Austwick
Rating: 8.5 out of 10
[Editor's note: And so begins our Frightfest coverage thanks to our awesome London correspondent Ben!]
Christopher Smith is one of the rising stars of British Horror, his so-so debut “Creep” knocked into a hat by the success of his second feature, the very funny horror comedy “Severance”. They're very different films, but have in common a brazen, magpie attitude to their influences and a trashy, ironic feel. Triangle similarly flies its influences with no apology, but swaps the gore and laughs for tightly plotted thriller tension and a complicated, twisting storyline that could annoy if it wasn't so bizarre. The lengths it goes to to confound and confuse make this a very exciting film and a big step forward for Christopher Smith, despite an empty feel familiar in films that rely solely on plot mechanics.
I'd like to coin the term Yachting Horror to explain Triangle's set up,
