When Jess sets sail on a yacht with a group of friends, she cannot shake the feeling that there is something wrong.
Triangle is a genuinely clever, labyrinthine time-loop horror thriller that rewards careful attention. Its plot is its greatest strength — a recursive, Sisyphean nightmare that peels back layers with each cycle, culminating in a deeply unsettling revelation about Jess's nature and guilt. The ending is bold and emotionally devastating, tying the loop mythology to themes of abusive cycles and purgatory in a way that lingers. Novelty is high: while time-loop horror exists, Triangle executes its specific conception — the ghost ship, the infinite repetition, the moral horror of self-confrontation — with a singular, suffocating voice. Acting is competent with Melissa George carrying the film creditably, but supporting performances are functional rather than exceptional. Cinematography is solid and atmospheric but not particularly distinctive — it serves the story without transcending it.
