Review of The Triangle (2016) by Patricia W — 15 Mar 2018

Sold as a horror movie, a group of guys receive a cryptic postcard from one of their friends and they all decide to go out to a specific location to film the day to day life of people in a commune.

This is the first film in a long time that I just couldn't sit through to the end. I got to the 30 minute mark and absolutely nothing had happened. They go to the commune and it's just minute after minute of whiney millennials hanging around in the desert complaining about society and the modern world, doing boring, menial tasks and going to the toilet.

There have been many well made found footage horrors at this point that have set a certain standard for this type of film and The Triangle falls woefully short in every respect. The acting is wobbly at best, the camera work is unnecessarily shaky for hand held which is frustrating and just plain nauseating at points with blurry shots, weird angles and constantly jerky motions. Most importantly the pacing is that of an arthritic snail and your time would be better spent sleeping than watching this film, although the film may help send you off to slumber land.

This is one of the most mind numbing film experiences I've had for a long time and whoever was in charge of editing and any kind of pacing in the film needs to take a good hard look at themselves before making anything in the future.
