Glad I found this one
So another scary movie Sunday has passed and I discovered another gem. While this one is more of a psychological horror thriller than just your average horror film, it is definitely worth the time. Triangle is free on Amazon Prime, if you have it.This is one is a little difficult to review without spoiling, so I cam going to do my best here.From the opening scene, you know there is just something off about Jess. She is the mother of a autistic son, who is just doing her best to take care of him by herself. Their morning routine is interrupted by a ring of the doorbell. Jess goes to see who it is, but no one is there. She gets in the car and drives away. You see her drive from the point of view of the seagulls flying above.Cut to the harbor. Jess' friend is the skipper of a sailboat and a group of people are getting ready to go on what looks like a short day trip out on the open sea. The relationships between all of the people on the boat are set. Not everyone knows each other and not everyone wants Jess on the boat.A mysterious storm approaches...destroys the boat and leaves just as mysteriously as it has appeared. As they are struggling with the loss of one of their ship mates, a large cruise ship approaches. The group appears to be saved, But, of course, that is never the case....I will not delve too much into what happens next because that would spoil a truly terrific and terrifying ride. The audience is left to figure out what is going on along with Jess. Something is wrong here and as she discovers just what the problem is your heart races and sinks at the same time.I read many reviews of this and for some reason, it left many watchers confused. I think that people need to pay attention. This is one of those movies that if you do not pay close attention the story will lose you.Now is this entirely new ground? No. But, it is done with a new perspective and even a little research into the name of the cruise ship may key the watcher into what is going on here.The acting is superb. While, I had heard of Melissa George before, she was almost unrecognizable here. From a quick review of her imdb profile, it looks like she is turning into quite the little Scream Queen. If she continues to pull work like this, I think this is a good thing. Anyone can scream, but you can see the desperation on her face here and she starts to realize what it is that she must to do make it right,
