A random Youtube video profiling bizarre mind-bending movies (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0K0d0BTRJ9M&t=595s) brought me to The Triangle (2009) – which in turn I watched on an “unconventional” URL (https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9iu0zq). Clearly the OTT masters of the universe consider us intellectually incapable of processing such fare. In the story of Sisyphus, the protagonist pushes a boulder up a hill in an endless temporal loop. In The Triangle, Jessie (Melissa George), mother of an autistic child, goes on a boat trip in the Bermuda Triangle with her friends. Their boat hits the doldrums, and the deserted ship Aeolus is where they take refuge. Soon after coming on board a sinister sequence of events ensues – things are not what they seem at all – and friends are injured and dying, and Jess and the castaways are heavily looping in time. A mindbender that is likely to stay in the mind for a while in a sea of cinematic monotony
