The Triangle (film)

The Triangle is a 2001 thriller television movie directed by Lewis Teague and starring Luke Perry and Dan Cortese.

Three high school buddies, Stu (Luke Perry), Tommy (Dan Cortese) and Gus (David Hewlett), decide to go on a pleasure cruise through the Bermuda Triangle.

When Tommy, Gus, Stu and Julia get to the dock, they find that their chartered boat is a wrecker run by Captain Morgan (Dorian Harewood) and Charlie (Olivia d'Abo).

Before he dies, he tells Tommy that Stu is acting like one of the original passengers on the final voyage of the Queen of Scots, who went crazy and killed everyone with a cricket bat.

Charlie loosens the pulley while the cords are entangled around Stu's feet causing him to be pulled off the ship and hanged.

The patrol men are shocked to learn that they are survivors from Captain Morgan's ship, and just before the credits roll a radio broadcast is heard that reveals that Captain Morgan's boat was lost at sea over four years ago, while the movie seemingly transpires over a single day, implying that the Bermuda Triangle is a wormhole.

Michael Speier of Variety called it "a B movie in the truest sense of the genre," and went on to criticize its acting and special effects.

[3] Tom Shales of The Washington Post had a marginally more positive reaction to the film, noting the appeal of some of the performers and a few impressive effects shots.
