The film starts out with an interesting concept: A friend moves away and after a long time of radio silence an eerie postcard shows up asking for the other friends to come visit. What begins as just creepy slow build begins to unravel into something way more uneasy and mysterious.
I am not usually one for faux docs or found footage films, but it stayed super realistic with on point direction and natural character engagement. With other found footage flicks, like Cloverfield or Rec (even though i do like those movies), i'm typically yelling at the screen "WHY ARE YOU STILL HOLDING THE CAMERA?!?" In The Triangle the actors motivation to continue filming felt genuine and not forced.
Lastly, if you're going in for a crazy, wild, slasher-filled ride...you're not going to get it. Not to say there isn't chaotic intense moments, THERE ARE. But...If you're going in for a subtle creeping uneasiness (which i personally think is way more lasting and horrifying) with a quiet, yet heady resolve that keeps you pondering for days....then this is for you.
