Triangle (2009)

Jess joins her friend Greg and his friends for a day trip on his yacht. When a storm arises from nowhere, the boat capsizes and the group is left sitting on the upside down vessel waiting to be rescued.

After a few hours, the group are able to board a passing ocean liner named the SS Aeolus, that appears to be deserted. As the group hears sounds on board but can find no one, the tension builds and soon a masked killer starts firing at them.

At first this movie seems to be about a boating accident in the Bermuda Triangle, but it ends up being a huge never ending loop of occurrences that are shown from different viewpoints. You start to understand what's really going on, but then it just keeps going and you'll find things that make you question the holes in the plot.

When we got done watching this, I thought, "what a total mindfuck." Though it was billed as horror, it's more of a thriller. On a side note, after this we considered watching Chuck Norris in the Octagon, but had had enough of movies based on geometric shapes.
