There may be spoilers in the rest of the review

Story: Triangle starts when Jess (George) joins her friends Greg (Dorman), Downey (Nixon), Sally (Carpani), Heather (Lung) and Victor (Hemsworth) on a sailing trip. Jess has been struggling with her autistic son and this is a chance to take a break. However, an unexpected weather event sees the boat hit a storm and overturn.

They lose contact with one of the passengers, while the rest wait for rescue. A ship passes by and the five find safety on the ship. However, they can’t find anyone and Jess is going through Deja Vu. That is just the least of their problems, as they learn the shocking truth about what is going on.

Verdict on Triangle

Triangle is a mystery horror thriller following a group of friends who go on a sailing trip. However, a storm forces them to take shelter in a larger ship that is abandoned, or so they thought. Even then, it takes things in a drastic turn, as the friends find themselves dealing with a much darker series of events.

This is a movie which truly keeps you guessing. Just when you think you might understand what is going on, the rug is swept out from under you once again. Melissa George is amazing in the leading role, which sees her evolving as a character throughout the story. Even after watching this a couple of times, it doesn’t become completely clear what happens. However, this lets you speculate and theories which make this a topic of discussion on many levels.
