Triangle (2009)

Triangle is a tense, mind-bending psychological thriller that follows Jess, a single mother and waitress, who joins friends for a relaxing sail that quickly turns into a nightmare. After their yacht is capsized in a sudden storm, the survivors clamber aboard a strange, seemingly abandoned ocean liner — a place Jess is increasingly sure she’s seen before. What begins as a claustrophobic survival story soon unspools into a looping, puzzle-like mystery: corridors that repeat, déjà-vu that grows with every step, and an unseen killer methodically picking them off. Watching Triangle, you’ll feel rising dread and disorientation as the film plays with time, identity and causality. The atmosphere is eerie and suspenseful — empty decks, stopped clocks, and shadowy corridors — while the plot gradually reveals a science‑fiction/fantasy underpinning that reframes what appears to be straightforward horror. The movie blends visceral scares with cerebral twists, forcing both Jess and the audience to piece together a haunting cycle of events. Expect tension, shocking moments, emotional stakes rooted in Jess’s life back home, and a puzzling, unsettling payoff that lingers after the credits.
