The Devil's Triangle (1974)

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Admirable film.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The Devil's Triangle (1974)** (out of 4) Vincent Price narrates this documentary that takes a look at several mysterious disappearances that happened in what's known as The Bermuda Triangle. The documentary has interviews with people who are experts on some of the disappearances including a few members of a search party who went out looking for five missing planes.If you're a fan of mysteries then you'll probably want to watch this at least once but there's no question that it's a product of its time and has been replaced with many, many better documentaries on the subject. The stories told here are all rather interesting but at the same time they're told rather blandly so they never really build up any tension or scares.THE DEVIL'S TRIANGLE does feature some nice narration by Price so fans of his will also probably want to check this out but for the most part this has been forgotten for good reasons.

Vincent Price is the narrator of this story about the Triangle and its place in recent history (about 200 years) as a frightening area of the ocean with respect to planes and ships.Most of the movie is ultimately spooky, albeit at times it's a bit animated. Good interviews with folks who have a connection to the Triangle, though some of them appear to have been coached. Alan Kosnar, whom was one of the naval personnel involved with the disappearance of the infamous 'Flight 19', states his version of what happened on that fateful day.Trenchant script adds to film's flavor. Comfortably short running time at only 52 minutes

Turn your brain off and take this for what it is, a ghost story of questionable veracity narrated by the great Vincent Price. I saw this film about the weird goings on in the Bermuda Triangle when it was released to theaters back in the mid 70's. It scared the living snot out of me and made me want to crawl under my seat. It was scarier than most horror films because "its based on fact".I have no idea how true any of it is. Over the years I've heard the stories bandied about so much by people saying the stories are true or false that I don't really believe anyone on either side. Frankly I don't really care. What I do care about is that this film, though dated (the effects are clearly 1970's independent cheap) is great deal of fun. Its creepy and scary if you are crazy enough to sit and watch the film with the lights out. Watch it as the cinematic equivalent of a campfire story. Don't try and deduce if the "claw" is real just go with the flow and you'll have a blast.

This is a short, entertaining documentary that gets most of it's mileage from the slightly arch voice work of the great Vincent Price and from it's very silly script. You can't really take the documentary seriously because, as other reviewers have pointed out, the production values are so bad they are funny! It's an "Ed Wood style" documentary with lots of laughs. They start early when you get not one, but two openings for the film ending with Price intoning the oft-repeated line..."in...the..DEVIL'S TRIANGLE!". Then you get badly edited cuts that jump all over in time. At one point you are in the 40's with a Christmas day flight that disappears while singing Christmas Carols. Of course, the director uses a recording of a whole chorus singing while Price ominously intones that they had flown into (yes, you guessed it) "..the..DEVIL'S TRIANGLE". Another fun bit in the show is the fragmented use of music by King Crimson. I couldn't quite place the album it was pulled from, but the same piece was used over and over again along with some weird noises that sound like they came from an old Halloween record. There are also some very funny re-enactments in the film. At one point an eccentric captain of a Navy coal ship heading to South America strolls onto the deck of the ship with his hat and cane, wearing only long underwear. Later in the story we see the same actor strolling back and forth across the deck in the same long-johns! And last, but not least, there are many "artists conception" paintings of what the director thinks may have happened on board the missing ships. The paintings look like they've been drawn and colored by a 12-year old. But the real fun here is with the voice acting of Vincent Price, who pulls back from the top just enough to keep his performance from becoming camp. But he just can't resist a little exaggeration here and there, like when he is describing the people who are heading through the triangle to get to vacations spots and describes the "..unattached women who find unattached men..". He gives the lines just a hint of perversion which is very funny indeed. Oh, give this documentary a try. You will enjoy it immensely if you try to see it as an Ed Wood film. I'm voting for Guy Maddin to do the remake.
