About the Movie:

Watching The Innkeepers was a trip back to the classic basement ghost horror tale. Yes, you’re right, the one that keeps you at the edge of your seats, shouting at the protagonist not to go down the cellar stairs, because somehow, through the setting’s atmospheric build up, you are sure that something terrible is bound to happen (or show up). The same old formula: an unrest soul trapped in the four walls of the house because of an unfinished business, which consequently, and unfortunately, meant a curse for the unwelcomed (but then again, welcomed) guests. It follows the curiosity of The Yankee Pedlar Innkeepers, Luke and Claire, regarding the Inn’s haunted past, which can bring it back to life (pun intended). Luke and Claire are your typical working class, they struggle both financially (as shown in their efforts to bring interest back in the Inn) and with their bland, uneventful lives (chat with the coffee shop barista).

My initial impressions of the film, given the opening sequence composing black and white creepy images, was that it was going to be dark and serious; that it will focus mainly on the ghost preying on the guests of the hotel, terrorizing them until the end. After watching it, I was kind of underwhelmed by its ability to scare me. It’s startle moments were a little above the average. For me, its strongest point is its ability to build up an atmosphere, I really felt like the Inn cam alive slowly.

Just like some of the classics, The Shining to mention one, the build up of the horror atmosphere was slow but on point; one can feel the setting, the The Yankee Pedlar Inn, come alive, as the protagonist are slowly trying uncovering the layers of mystery surrounding it. The Inn was the ghosts’ medium in making their presence felt. The eerie tone of the the whole place, the hallways, the antique yet ironically cold rooms, the humming of the laundry area, the garage, the basement, even the receptionists’ desk with the silver bell; they all elicit some sort of a clam before the storm.

The film however, just like its classic references, is good at building up the sense of terror through images and encounters that keep one’s spirit jumpy then cut short in many instances, well until that moment when the “unknown” finally reveals itself. The slow phase of the movie assures that certain images are embedded on the minds of its audience, like the creepy creaking signage of the hotel, the staircase, the corridors, the piano, the recording device, the Déjà vu’s. These seemingly peripheral and minuscule details, are the devices of the ghosts, their very presence, that makes the experience more than the startle moment.

Here we see an actual depiction of Noel Carroll’s explanation of the horror genre’s effectivity based on playing with its audience’s curiosity, with the process of discovery, proof, and confirmation. The Innkeepers is a good example showing how the process of building horror is linked to the process of disclosure of the monster.

How should I think critically about this movie?

One interesting point made by the movie is the juxtaposition of the problems of the working class and the elite. Think of it, the hotel employees who are near the bottom of the social ladder (as emphasized by Lee’s demeaning and condescending comments regarding Claire’s dreams,) resort to somewhat a form of escapism with ghosts and paranormal activity; while Madeline O’Malley’s dilemma was the she was left by her fiance, which lead to her suicide. However in the spirit realm, which absorbed Claire in the end, everyone is in a state of equity, no past, present, or future. The thing that she found escape in, ghost hunting, as a repressed member of society (as part of the proletariat, like Wood talks about)  have fully engulfed her. This makes me contemplate how the outcasts in the peripherals of society can prey on each other; and how the spiritual realm becomes a common ground for everyone.

To further emphasize the film’s socio-economic themes, just look at this poster:

Strongest Elements of the Film:

I really liked the utilization of the ghost-hunting equipment to record EVPs, it lets its audience experience the very scientific way of discovering (or communicating) with the supernatural, that we commonly watch in documentaries like True Ghost Stories. It was an effective tool because it made the haunting more realistic and kind of scientific. I also got the feeling that it was a way of hearing the Inn breathe.

The cellar was a good throwback to the classics although it wasn’t built up that much. Through introducing something familiar, horror fans can immediately capture a certain horror-linked mood and memory.

Favorite Scene
/Scariest Scene
The scariest scene for me was when Claire discovers the old man in the bathtub, and then being consequently chased down by him (almost naked which makes this also the grossest scene) to the basement. There is something very creepy about the old man (last guest) character. It seems like introducing him as the last guest signifies the start of the doom that was bound to happen.

Do I Recommend it?

Overall, the movie’s strongest element is the Inn itself. I recommend it to traditional horror movie goers who enjoy just the right amount of scare; and enjoys a movie that safely operates within the standard rulers and procedures of the ghost horror genre. Expect a slow and steady buildup and a sprint towards the end. No need for any preparations, enjoy the film for what it is, a conventional and clean dose of ghosts hunting hotels

Triangle

111697

Although Triangle is not what you expect from a typical horror movie which leaves you screaming and at the edge of your seat, horror as a genre is not limited to the startle effect. As mentioned in Horror, The Film Reader, the main conflict in a horror film is when the “monster” character deals with a different or unreal relationship with normality. Horror films have an anti-real aesthetic which introduces something that does not normally happen in real life, and questions cultural norms. During the earlier parts of the movie Triangle, I was expecting it to be a paranormal/ghost movie. However, as the plot progressed, the main character, Jess, turned out to be both the victim and the monster with no external parties involved. The set of characters remained the same all throughout the movie, and for the most part, the story revolved around Jess’ perspective. This proves that monsters in horror films do not necessarily have to be ghosts or supernatural beings, but ordinary people as well. Jess was the victim in a sense that she was the only one experiencing or aware of the pattern of events, yet at the same time, she was also the monster because she was the murderer and no matter which way she tried to solve the chain of events, the outcome turned out the same and there seemed to be no way out.

The horror aspect can also arise internally, in the mind, or by twists of fate. The conflict arose when Jess’ relationship with reality was challenged, in turn affecting her relationship with herself and others — making the conflict both internal and external. Upon realizing that she was the murderer of her companions, her internal conflict was whether to break the cycle by stopping herself from killing them or to give in and follow fate. What was interesting about Triangle is that although the setting was completely normal, you could immediately sense that something was off, and eventually, the pieces fell together.

Another characteristic of horror films is how they appeal to emotions. Triangle draws you in to each moment, anticipating what was going to happen next. No matter how predictable the next scene appears, another twist seems to surprise you. Details were also very important in the film as these are what gave clues about the occurrences. Little details that did not seem entirely relevant at one moment had a significant bearing on stitching together the events later on. In the end, when the pieces finally came together, you feel a sense of resolve but you’re also left with a sense of unsettlement. Triangle fed on the audience’s fear of the unknown and surprised its audiences in the least expected ways. No matter how differently Jess tried to approach the repeated situations, the outcome was inevitable and it seemed as though each decision she made was already predicted and destined from the very beginning. This created only more conflict and confusion for myself as the audience because for each time Jess would approach a situation differently, I would hope that it would finally solve the dilemma. But even in the end, the film returned to the beginning which involved a whole bigger cycle which seemed to have no escape or solution. Triangle was a great introductory film to Horror Film class because it broke the stereotype of what a horror film should be as it incorporated different elements and characteristics from horror as a genre. It left you completely disturbed and confused but also hooked.

GINGERSNAPS

114772

The movie Gingersnaps is successful in presenting itself as a horror story because number one, gore dominates the movie and number two, there is an element of an ominous and unknown element. In the beginning of the movie, the Fitzgerald sisters were revealed as fans of death and anything that is violent. They would take pictures of fake, bloody deaths as their hobby. When Ginger was also captured in the woods by the creepy creature, it revealed a brutal encounter. When Ginger tends to have episodes, she also tends to slay her victims to the bone. Indeed, ig wounds, dripping blood and a vicious killer are usually what comprises of a usual horror film. Evidently, this is an excellent kind of body horror.

Another reason why it’s a good horror film is that the film also gave way for an unknown element. As dicussed in class, this element would also be regarded as “weird” not because it acts in a different way (well yes, this beast is and looks different) but it does not belong in this world. Is it a werewolf? Is it an alien? It is a crossbreed between a werewolf and an alien? Whatever it is, I am sure that the element of the unknown gave rise to the horror element of the film. Although the film did not engage the class in shrieks and screams provided by cheap thrills, I think this movie is well done. This is sort of like a horror movie excellent for toddlers who are easily lured into doing good in fear of the werewolf/alien/beast hunting them to sleep. I am not saying that the movie is not good for adults. It’s just adults easily assume that horror movies are all about ghosts, mystery killings etc. But if adults can find a way to see that this is in fact a legitimate horror film then I think that they can appreciate more conventional horror movies in the future.

What I also like about Gingersnaps is that it’s not too focused on scaring its audience. For one, there is an element of humor. The class actually gathered in laughter as we saw how ridiculous Ginger and her sister is in thinking that menstruation is a curse. Their mother, who seems to be trying hard in being close to them is also a very funny character in the movie.

We can also see that there is an element of teenage drama. We can see the typical scene where the popular girl bullies the “freak”, the group of attractive guys are to be fought over by girls and so on. But most especially, as strong as the horror elements lies the theme of love for family. The sisters were a solid team in the movie. They supported each other in having a weird hobby, they protected each other against the bitchy, popular girl. And even though they go through the worst situations, they always have each other which was evident in the beginning and at the end of the movie. Maybe this movie is all about Brigitte still keeping her promise even after Ginger snaps.

TRIANGLE

114772

Minutes after the movie has started, Jess has already sensed that there is something wrong with their trip. As a viewer, I also came to a conclusion that she might be an important element in the movie. More so, since their trip is in a sea, I thought that they were going to encounter violent natural disasters and that would be the movie about. Yes the boat did go through a horrifying storm that actually came out of nowhere but that wasn’t the main event of the movie. Based from the title, Triangle, as well, I thought that the movie would perhaps reveal more horrific events that came out of nowhere since maybe they are in the Bermuda triangle, hence the title.

When the big ship arrived, I thought that the movie will be about ghost encounters inside the ship, I thought to myself: Man, I’m never going to guess what this is about. All this guessing is leading me to different points, sort of like a triangle.” But then the real story reveals itself and guesss what. The movie should have been named “the Circle.”

I, for one, was not able to understand the movie fully. Why are there recurring events? Why is Jess trapped in some kind of time limbo? And does it ever stop? I felt really confused as to how events are turning in the movie and that’s a big part of why I was scared of the movie. I have no clue what is going to happen next. I am not a big fan of movies and I always assumed that horror movies are all about ghosts or gore killings. But when I saw the movie Triangle, I know this movie presented more than ghosts and killings to show itself as a horror movie. I love the twist.

The lighting of the ship was also dark which somehow reflects sinister vibes inside the boat. It was funny though that inside a dark ship is a frame of the story of Sisyphus. Before I learn to analyze movies as such, I used to just go with the flow and never even bother about the details. But this one is just so random that as if it was poorly inserted in the movie just to give a clue about the movie. But the fact that the myth of Sisyphus (the myth that there is this guy who carries a rock all the way to the top of the hill only to watch it roll back down) reveals a similar nature as to the recurring events of the movie. While reading the frame they said that Sisyphus cheated his death. In the movie, it is likely that Jess might have cheated her death too and as a consequence, her life keeps on repeating.

But my question is that why is it that when events are recurring, she comes off as another person. How come it does not happen like a déjà vu where she’s supposed to be familiar with the events since she already experienced it. That way, maybe she could help. Why does she have an impostor? And most importantly, who is the real one?

Triangle

Before we watched the movie Triangle in class, I watched the trailer and I guess because of that, I missed some of the movie experience. I knew beforehand due to me watching the trailer that the anonymous killer in the ship was Jess herself.
Nevertheless, the movie was still a great one in my opinion. It left me with so many questions about certain aspects of the movie like how do the bodies of people in the movie theatre not pile up like the ones in the upper deck wherein there were about 20 piled up bodies. I also asked myself what the movie alludes to or if it even alludes to anything.
Leading up to the ending, I formulate theories in my head about what’s happening and why and as the movie progresses, my theories either get debunked or reaffirmed. I like that about movies. I like to think about what’s happening and not just relying on the movie spoon feeding it to me.
I like the fact that even after leaving the ship, Jess was still stuck in the cycle. The events in the first part of the movie were in fact also events in the latter parts like when Jess was comforting her son, telling him that it’s all just a dream. There were many aspects of the movie that were amazing even the little details such as the pile of pendants or the pile of crumpled paper which signifies that the events in the movie have happened before with a different Jess.
The ending was the epitome of it all. It took my attention the most because I wondered why Jess went back to the boat and seem to forget what just happened to her. That was the biggest question for me because even if I contemplate the ending, I never seem to find a sound reason for it all. The best theory I came up with is that Jess forgot about everything when she was asleep in the boat and maybe thought it was just a dream, which is pretty unlikely to happen because if I were in Jess’ shoes, I wouldn’t forget all the horrible things that had happened to me. Another theory I came up with is that Jess probably realized that she cannot escape the cycle that she’s in so she probably just went on with it, pretending not to know what would happen next and just spend time with her friends and her son, which is also pretty unlikely since it would be absurd to willingly go back to the psychological torment Jess went through.
As a movie, Triangle was great but as a horror film, I didn’t think it was a successful one. This may be because I wasn’t fully immersed in Jess’ experience. I treated the events that were happening as external to myself. The movie didn’t provide the means for the audience to be fully immersed in its horror aspects. This may also be because this was my first time to experience a horror film not about ghosts or zombies or other cliche supernatural creatures. Then again who am I to say if the movie was a great horror film or not? I’m just stating my opinion.

About the Film:

The flick tells the growing up story of sisters Ginger and Bridget. They are your typically awkward teenage girls, who team up with each other against the rest of the world indefinitely, until one night a bite changed everything. The story then follows how Ginger, the elder sister, goes through the pains of puberty, but with the extra burden of transforming into a were wolf.

Ginger Snaps is a body horror that parallels what the human body goes through in the transitions of adolescence, with the transformations to a werewolf, in very playful and smart way. My initial impressions of the film was that it was going to be cheesy and lame (I’m not really a fan of werewolf flicks); That it would be another teen horror flick wherein it tells blunt plot showcased in a lot of gore. In the end I still thought that it was kind of a cheesy film, but it partly saved itself through its discussions of sexual and feminist themes through playing with images of carnal desires.In theory, through the metaphor it just shows how the repression of teenage (girls), their sexual energies, can be so powerful as to evoke a blood-thirsty monster within.

Strongest Elements:

Robin Wood’s notion of the Other, the repressed, can be a critical lens to view the film. It presents children, as monsters “representing a generalized concept of Otherness”, which society represses and reflects its on repressions. It also presents the female as the Other. Horror films, like in the case of Ginger Snaps, has its ways of directing our attention to the people at the edges of society.

One of the strongest scenes is when Ginger finally embraces her transformation when she walked along the corridors feeling confident and liberated. It is very strong since it represents the tension you undergo when you go through adolescence, kind of the same in becoming a werewolf; confronting the struggle between reclaiming your body by embracing its new form, lingering on your past, or embracing change. For this fact, the movie becomes relatable to virtually everyone; because adolescence is a shared past we all share. One can feel the urges, the drives, the stress, that comes with entering adulthood.

Robin Wood introduces us to the concept of surplus repression. One of its manifestations is the particular repression of the female sexuality, the woman as the other. For this reason, another strong scene is when Jason and Ginger finally have sex in the car. It was wild and animalistic mostly due to Ginger’s strong sexual/carnal drives; the most interesting part is that the role reversal that happened. Ginger assumes the dominant top position while saying (howling) “who’s your daddy?”. It clearly implies Wood’s point on the Return of the Repressed.

 Grossest Scene/Favorite Scene:

The grossest and scariest scene for me is when Jason was urinating and blood was coming out making him realize that he was infected by Ginger. This alludes to the fear of sexually transmitted disease, and also the repression of homosexuality, which is a significant reality in our current society. Blood, a bodily fluid, signifying disease and death, a form of abjection, reinforces the fear of sexual intercourse and the risks that goes with it.

Do I Recommend it?


I don’t recommend this flick that much because I genuinely think it’s kind of outdated for our generation. It banks strongly on old horror conventions like startle scenes and cheesy teenage murder plots, as well as dry humor. Moreover, I don’t really prefer horror mixed with humor; for doing such is a very tricky method, its a make it or break it kind of thing. Done unwell, it might mess up with the effectivity of the movie as a horror. I do recommend it to people who look for a light-hearted horror flick, with the perks of teen sex and fantasies. Expect gore, sex, and awkward, humorous moments. To prepare yourself, just sit back and let Ginger blow your head.

TRIANGLE – HORROR OR NOT?

According to IMDb and Wikipedia, Triangle is a thriller, but that’s not to say that it borrows a lot of elements from a horror.

The first act of the film most certainly plays out like a horror movie. It is reminiscent of slasher films such as Friday the 13th and Halloween, wherein a group of friends are hunted down by a killer and usually only one or two of the protagonists are alive by the end. Triangle’s protagonists, who are shipwrecked in the middle of sea, board a cruise ship that seems to have appeared from nowhere. There are no passengers or crew onboard and the ship has been seemingly abandoned. Well, sort of. The characters explore the ship. One of them, Jess, gets the feeling that she’s been onboard the ship before. Eventually, they find a room with blood as well as droplets of blood throughout the hallways. As it turns out, a masked gunman still roams the ship and opens fire on the protagonists. He kills everyone except Jess, who disarms him. Before she could question him, he throws himself overboard.

From that point on, the movie will start to feel less like a horror and more like a mystery thriller. We now know that the antagonist is not a supernatural or all-powerful entity and can be defeated in a physical altercation. However, the film has not one, not two but three plot twists. Here’s plot twist number one. Jess is shocked to see everyone, including a copy herself, boarding the ship in the same manner she had. Also, the masked gunman also seemingly returns. Jess realises she is in some sort of time loop. In a futile attempt to break the loop, she attempts to warn her friends, including her past self, about the gunman. Nevertheless, the gunman still kills the entire group, save for Jess. Another copy of the group arrives again, seemingly repeating the cycle. Behold, plot twist number two. She dons the mask herself, grabs a rifle from the armoury and kills her friends, and, following the timeline of events within the loop, gets knocked overboard by her past self.

After washing ashore in the mainland, she makes her way back to her home where she sees her past self physically and verbally abusing her autistic son. She bludgeons her past self to death, and assures her son that he’s only experiencing a bad dream. While driving her son to school, she makes amends to him that she will treat him better than before. However, through a bird slamming into their windshield, she realises she’s still in the time loop, never having escaped it. Jess attempts to drive but swerves into oncoming traffic, killing her son. She survives, though shocked, and is brought to the docks where her friends, the other protagonists, are waiting. The time loop is implied to repeat itself again and again.

So is Triangle a horror or a thriller? It certainly has more elements of a thriller than a horror. Only the first forty to fifty minutes of the film are akin to slasher films like Halloween and so forth. While it is more thriller than horror, it certainly has enough elements to be considered a horror film, in the same manner that other movies can be classified into more than one genre, like how Thor can be both a superhero and a fantasy movie at once. So the proper genre to classify it would be a ‘horror thriller’. It has an antagonist whom we don’t much know about until the last third of the film. It has a group of friends who are killed off one by one by aforementioned antagonist. It has a eerie setting, an abandoned cruise ship, which can be considered a haunted house on the high seas.

With the discussion on Triangle being a horror film or not aside, Triangle is surprisingly good for a film that I’ve never heard of until then. Its cinematography is decent, though may be a little clumsy at times. All the actors to play the friends are also pretty decent. Except for Liam Hemsworth, I have never seen any of them in other movies before. Its cheaply rendered CGI may be a little distracting, especially in the scene where the cruise ship first comes into view.

For me and a lot of people, the name of the movie itself was a tad misleading. If you did not think the movie had something to do with the Bermuda Triangle, you’d think the friends’s yacht, the titular Triangle, was itself a central plot device in the film when in fact, the Triangle would only appear in the first and last parts of the film. I always thought it would have made more sense if the movie was called Aeolus, after the abandoned cruise ship, since it plays a more central role in the film than their yacht.

Digressing aside, Triangle’s elements of horror and thriller jive together quite nicely to bring an entertaining and suspenseful film. I’m glad I’ve seen it, and I wouldn’t mind seeing it one or two more times.TRIANGLE_130307

Triangle

110273

What was confusing about the movie, “Triangle” is that it is not your typical horror movie. Most horror movies like When A Stranger Calls, The Grudge, The Conjuring and Annabelle, leave you scared to sleep alone for the next couple of nights. Triangle on the other hand did not even make me flinch. In my opinion, it is more closely associated to psychotic thrillers like Inception, Shutter Island and The Sixth Sense.

However, there are elements of a horror movie that are shown in this movie. The scene that struck the most fear was when they were walking around the ship looking for passengers. They saw a shadow of a person in the mirror, writing on the glass with blood and a key left on the floor but they could not find the person who was doing all this. The second element was mystery. The main character could not figure out what was happening. When she saw pieces of paper on the floor with her writing and she did not remember writing anything. She was confused why the same scenarios keep repeating and repeating. Lastly, the element of suspense was seen when the main character realized that when everyone dies, the whole cycle repeats again. Every time everyone dies, the audience was on the edge of their seats waiting to see what will happen next. Whether the main character will try to do something differently or the same thing will happen. Each time it repeats, something new is revealed.

Triangle revolves around the central theme of a mother saving her child. The mother loved her child so much that she is willing to kill and relive the agony of the painful experiences again and again to try to bring her son back to life. At the start of the movie, the mother serves as an inspiration because she was being selfless to protect her son, which was ironic because at the end of the movie, the plot twist is that she is actually an abusive mother. The moral of the story could be that the series of events happening is her karma for how she was treating her son.

When you put the words triangle and horror together, the things that come to my mind are illuminati or the ouija board. It is not clearly seen in the movie what the correlation of the triangle is to what is happening to the characters. My interpretation is each side of the triangle symbolizes past, present and future. There is no escape from the repetition of these events because the past would always become the present, the present will become the future and vice versa. There is no beginning and the end. This is where the real fear sets in because there is a possibility that something remotely similar could happen to us in our lives. We get stuck in bad situations like money debt, drug addiction or a fatal illness. We are not certain of whether things will ever change or if we will be stuck in the situation forever. It could be a never-ending cycle of doom.

Gingersnaps

114551

Just by the title of the movie “Gingersnaps” without any knowledge of the actual genre of the movie, one can assume it’s a happy, cute, mellow film with dolls, unicorns and rainbows. Ironically however, the opposite is true in this movie. The movie Gingersnaps is everything but happy, girly and cute. It is the story revolving a tragic experience of two odd and strange sisters , ginger and Brigitte.

Gingersnaps for me was a film whose audience was more of the juvenile. The way Horror was projected had to do with monsters and mutants rather than the traditional ghosts. Gingersnaps reminded me on the tv series “Are You Afraid of The Dark?” which both the movie and series have a relatively soft horror.
Gingersnaps had a very unique one of a kind mix that plays with your emotions with very odd but still comedy, suspense , horror and gore.

To start off, the movie introduces with a black and white, dark images of what then looked like crime scene, death, gore, and more gore. But eventually revealed that were just created by the two odd yet bonded sisters who share the same interests and fascination of “playing dead”

My expectation for the movie was that it would have something to do with ghosts and a serial killer. The ghosts never came but somehow the serial killing did, but it was just in a form of a monster, a werewolf.

If I can describe the movie, basically its about werewolves, marijuana, and female puberty. It had its own style of horror since the movie still had to deal with death as death can be seen numerous times in it. It was also just gory and freaky when it came to the killings, the chopped fingers, and piles of blood and frozen body.

Personally, I am not really a fan of monsters or any mutants in horror films but there is no doubt that Gingersnaps is considered horror. The movie failed to give me a good scare but it gave me the creeps in the form of disgust from the blood and dead people in the film.

I liked Gingersnaps not for its horror side but because it had the unique way of projecting comedy despite tragedy and the presence of death.

Triangle

Francis salva 114551

The movie Triangle is anything but what you would expect to encounter in a horror film. For me the movie was more of about can we say a fictional supernatural phenomenon related to alteration of time, dimension and the like.

Personally, I found the movie to fictional and far from the traditional ghost-haunting experience we usually see in horror films. And I am pretty much not a big fan of a small setting movie like the Triangle which only took place in a time-traveled-haunted or cursed ship most of the time in the film.

My expectations prior to watching the film was it was , as most of us thought, would be something related to the every mysterious Bermuda Triangle and seeing the relation of a boat and the sea just made so much more sense in my expecting. My reaction during the first parts of the movie is that “what the hell is going on” and “what is up with her?” as she kept acting strangely and weird, freaking out each and everyone starting from her neighbor to her friends in the boat. I always though she had a sixth sense in feeling upcoming events and also a power to time travel when she said she’s been there in the ship before. The movie was intriguing because it was meant to make no sense at all from the first. But as the movie went along, I thought it was pure genius how the movie was made and directed, realizing these as I found out that it was her all along who kept haunting that ship for I don’t know how long. She was somehow trapped in time and no matter what she did, all her actions was still in accord to the fate of the car accident to the riding of the ship and the haunting and everything weird that came with it.

I always have been fascinated with supernatural theories of time travel, dimension stepping and especially the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle and the move Triangle just introduced to me another possible theory for all these things and mysteries.

The Movie started with me asking “what the hell?” and it also ended with me having left with the same question. “what the hell ?” to question her uncontrollable actions that went in circles and circles.

It was pretty much an “F’d” up movie , that was my reaction, but it was F’d up in a very good way because it had me somehow “living” their reality and still I was left with theories and questions that remained unanswered after the movie.

Triangle was not my type of movie to begin with but my interest sparked with how the movie had to do with so much supernatural phenomenon which I always had to consider to be real in this world
