Great horror flick!
18 March 2005
Excellent vintage horror, borrowing tales & legends about the so-called Bermuda Triangle just to terrorize the viewers by various topics loosely relevant to the main plot. An unnerving score (courtesy of the talented, underrated Italian composer Stelvio Cipriani) comments nightmarish sequences about lots of strange supernatural phenomena, mysterious presences haunting the depths of the ocean, a ghost ship, and the creepy relation (often really disturbing) between a little girl and her evil killer doll. The story is neither solid nor coherent at all, as in Lucio Fulci's "The beyond" e.g., and the technical quality is quite poor, except for some underwater shootings by the good cinematographer Ramon Bravo, but these two aspects incredibly increase the tone of the whole movie's atmosphere. Written by Carlos Valdemar and directed by Renè Cardona Jr. (who later did the entertaining "Cyclone") this Italian/Mexican co-production scared me much more than "The shining"; I've seen it several times and I highly recommend it!
