Was gonna spend a buck at Redbox until I saw this on Netflix Instant Play. The buck would have been okay, but free is cool, too.
(57) Triangle (2009): Always liked Melissa George ever since I saw her in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive, so that was part of the appeal here. What I thought was going to be just another 1 star horror film turned out to be a little better than average, and more of a thriller than a horror, although some horror elements are present.
The premise is this: A group of friends go for a weekend sail that goes horribly wrong when a strange and isolated storm capsizes the boat. They are saved when a passing cruise ship picks them up, but Melissa George is pretty certain she's been on this ship before, which is completely empty except for the sailboat passengers. One by one the passengers are killed.
This is one of those movies that is a time loop, and the events keep happening over and over. However, Melissa George is starting to catch on. I won't spoil it for you, but the film overall wound up being considerable more engaging than I thought it would be. It's definitely worth watching, even if you drop a buck at Redbox.
