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.

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.
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
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.

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.
