It was more indie movie slow, but they did not have the blair witch vomit inducing shaky cams.
Creepy Slow Burn Mystery - Very Worth the Watch
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.
A Lovecraftian Sketch with Untapped Potential
A decent enough piece of Lovecraftian horror, sans blood and gore or expensive special effects, that only hints at the cosmic terror haunting its victims. The Triangle has the look and feel of a fairly low-budget affair, but is filmed in a beautiful, stark location that lends to a suspenseful atmosphere. There are many open questions of character motivation and backstory that some will find unsatisfying. However, I was fine with certain key plot elements being left open to my imagination.
Done right, the filmmakers could have elaborated and put the finishing touches on a masterwork of dread. But, given the ambition of the idea behind The Triangle, they could've more easily gone too far making silly, illogical choices, creating not a modest psychological thriller, but a full-blown farce. In the end, The Triangle is an incomplete, interesting charcoal sketch of a paranoid's half-remembered nightmare, but not a fully rendered, color masterpiece of a seer's infernal vision.

Good slow burn "found footage" film of a slightly different variety.
So - If you don't have the patience for a slow building film or need to have every aspect explained to you....you will not enjoy this film. It will only leave you angry and confused. Aspects of the story are decidedly vague. There is a lot of handheld camerawork and (nicely done) split screens. I went into this film with the lowest of expectations. I'm still surprised at how engaging it turned out to be.
Found footage in rural Montana. That's all you need to know. The acting was solid and convincing. The build-up is slow and keeps you wondering which direction the film would eventually take (you won't likely guess right off). It's not by-the-numbers suspense and the feeling of menace and unease feels more nuanced and genuine than most. If you enjoy a variety of found footage films - this one definitely gives you something different.

Half of a movie
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.
