Triangle is a welcome twist on the slasher genre as cute Melissa George agrees to go on a yacht trip with a bloke she knows, and some of his mates. Then there's a weird storm at sea, a seemingly deserted ocean liner, and a masked nutter picking them off one by one with a twist.
Director Christopher Smith (he of the limp "Creep" and the excellent "Severance") keeps the pressure on Ms George to unravel the mystery and get her and her chums out of it. It contains an element of Groundhog Day, with a head scratching time paradox which is as non-sensical or as straightforward as your imagination is prepared to make it. It leads to a resolution which is cool, although not exactly unexpected.
A cut above your average slasher pic, with a director who knows what he's doing, a script with smarts and the always excellent Ms George. She deserve bigger and better than playing the scream queen forever, though.

Yeah, Triangle was a cool little horror flick with a weird but fun structure and a (as always) great central performance from the lovely and talented Melissa George.
