Starring Melissa George and a Hemsworth before they were famous. If you’ve not seen this movie, do yourself a favor and WATCH IT ABSOLUTELY COLD. Do not watch a trailer, do not read anything about it beforehand. It’s one of those you’ll be glad you knew less about going in. All you need to know is it’s a horror thriller. It’s not a jump-scare movie; there is blood and violence but it’s not gratuitous.
I have to say, I think Bardo: False Chronicles of a Handful of Truths (Netflix) is awesome, but many people think it’s too much. I dunno. For me, it was watched in two parts, which may have helped.
On another view, classics like The Goonies are up there for me. And I’m quite into the Jeunet & Caro movies, so Delicatessen, The City of Lost Children, and Amélie are up there as well. Oh, and obviously Interstellar, Dune Pt 1 (when is part 2 gonna come out??) and Blade Runner - the original and 2049.
I’ll check it out. I enjoy horror movies and ones set on ships are always welcome.
One of my favorites (not on a ship) is The Endless (2017) - IMDb. I avoided it on Netflix for some time because I thought the description sounded boring, but the movie is phenomenal.
That movie is so gross. Also, the acting is mediocre. (I don’t care who’s getting their throat ripped out, or how many people are getting their throats ripped out, run!) World War Z is, personally much better. I also like The Last Of Us - the new series.
Oh, my. I took these words way too seriously. So seriously I didn’t even have a closer look at the cast, the year the film came out or the movie poster. And now I spent 90 minutes watching an entirely different movie apparently also called the Triangle. And no, it wasn’t particularly good. Facepalming and laughing at the same time.
I am so sorry - just TRIANGLE not THE TRIANGLE. That’s why I called out Melissa George and a Hemsworth. There’s also a Tubi link that’s free with commercial breaks in the OP!
I remember I was shocked to find, after watching The Room, that there was a movie called Room, of substantially different quality and tone. I wonder what other identical (except for articles) movie titles have such a huge gap!

There’s One Week, a 1920 Buster Keaton comedy where two newlyweds have a week to build a house, and One Week, a 2008 drama about a motorcyclist who has been diagnosed with cancer.
The Letterboxd pages for both have reviews that read “It’s been…”
Oh boy, Wiseau’s “The Room” of all movies! I really enjoyed that one, but only because I knew what I had to expect from it. Watching it with serious intentions must be something else entirely. I’d almost say it puts you into a kind of elite circle of people who have watched it without knowing how bad it is beforehand. Rare to find these days, with all the buzz surrounding the film by now.
Had a good time watching the Oscars and then immediately pivoting for a watch of “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” which came very highly recommended by friends (high credibility), critics (middling credibility), and a guy wearing the most decked-out jean jacket I’ve ever seen, who was discussing the film very loudly on the phone in a grocery store parking lot a few weeks ago (credibility unanalysed).
After watching, I have concluded that this was the best possible pathway to lead to actually watching the movie.
