Triangle (2009)


Triangle: the 2009 headfuck of a movie set on a seemingly abandoned boat in the middle of nowhere. Jess is the mother of an autistic boy caught up in strange events that occur after the yacht her ad some extended friends are sailing on capsizes and they are "rescued" by a deathly quiet cruise liner. The film is deeply psychological, and in a similar vein as Inception, has you playing back previous parts of the film in your head just so you can get your mind around what's happening. Showing us what a small budget (1.5 million quid) and lots of imagination and a great cast can do in what has to be one of the best tricky/twisty plot line films ever, it is an absolute must watch and is disgustingly underrated and unknown.

Essentially a hybrid of Ghost ship, Saw, and...Groundhog day? that's right...Groundhog day, it has to be seen to be understood, it's kind of like ghost ship if ghost ship was a good film. 8/10
