Baddies climb on board for Triangle

By Derek Malcolm, Evening Standard  16.10.09
 
Triangle

Run for your life: Melissa George

Christopher Smith, the British director who made Creep and Severance, is a little too clever for his own good.

You may become almost as neurotic as the central character while trying to work out this new Twilight Zone-ish thriller.

Still, he is clearly a film-maker to watch and Triangle is the best he’s done so far.

The character in question is Jess (Melissa George), the single mother of an autistic son who guiltily boards a yacht off the coast of Florida without him on a nice friend’s invitation.

She finds herself in the epicentre of a freak storm that pitches the entire crew into the sea.

A passing liner picks them up but there seems to be no one on board except a mystery attacker with a hood and a gun. All sorts of weird things then happen.

The backstory, which gives the final reel a nicely judged dramatic kick, is one of the best things in the film — though Smith doesn’t always succeed with the different levels of his paranormal tale.

Nevertheless, the whole film is smart cinema. I wouldn’t be surprised if Smith didn’t land up with a contract in Hollywood. And possibly an easier plot to go with it.
