The Triangle

This found footage "movie" was absolutely horrible. Please do not waste 1 hour and 40 minutes like I did. I am the type that reads reviews before watching movies and I read them here on IMDb and the links to other review movie websites. They were all glowing and pretty much had nothing but good to say about the " horror movie".....You're left with more questions than answers. And thats okay with some movies however with this one its... I don't care....I have definitely seen worse but because off all the excellent reviews I read I felt compelled to leave a review here warning people, this is NOT a good movie...And is DEFINITELY NOT A HORROR MOVIE...you have been warned

This film does a great job of building atmosphere and giving you characters that feel real-ish.

Then it gives you like a quarter of a plot and some hints and ultimately goes nowhere. It also really drags in pacing as time goes on. Potential squandered.

I watch a ton of found footage / documentary style horror movies - I just love them. This one was unique. I thought it had an original premise and a solid execution, which is rare for this genre. Most importantly, it didn't go the way I expected, which is a delight to me as a frequent viewer of films like this one. I thought the cast did a great job of making the movie believable - especially, as others have said, Andrew Rizzo, who played the slightly sinister cult leader. I noticed that other reviewers complained about the characters as being hippies, quirky, weird, etc - I thought they were very true to form when it comes to people that would choose to live in a commune in the desert. The set was also very convincing to me. Mostly, however, I am happy that it didn't go how I expected it to go.

I did not rate the film higher because the first act does drag, and I feel that the final reveal could have used *slightly* more backstory and foreshadowing. If you are not a fan of endings that don't wrap up everything neatly, this movie will frustrate you. Personally, I think it added to the mystery of the movie, and it would have ruined some of the mystique if they over explained what happened.

Overall, if you love found footage style horror movies like I do, this is worth a watch. If you're impatient or prefer clear endings, I would pass on this movie.

This starts off with some filmmakers who get a cryptic postcard from a friend who asks them for help. They decide to visit their friend's commune and film a documentary about it while helping their friend. Instantly you're going to think this "commune" is a cult and these guys are going to end up burned at the stake or something. Nope. That's not where this is going. It goes in a completely different direction. It's an interesting direction for about twenty minutes and then the movie ends. I did not particularly like that direction. I did not like the ending. I feel cheated.

I felt compelled to throw in my two cents as the review on the main page seems to miss the point. Listen, this movie may not be for everyone, but it is a quality piece of eerie mystery filmmaking. Fans of Ari Aster (Hereditary & especially Sommerset) or Robert Eggers (The Witch, The Lighthouse) will like this film. It is documentary-style and they create a great world where you feel that there's something just under the surface that is a little off. Check it out, but if you're in the mood for a slasher or a more in-your-face horror movie, maybe it's not for you.
