Satan’s Triangle (1979)

Powerful

i must have seen a different film!!

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Before I get to the film itself, I'd like to point out that the whole 'Devil's Triangle' idea is pretty ridiculous. Despite a lot of hubbub (which didn't even start until the 1950s), this is not some mysterious part of the Earth that just swallows up planes and boat. Really. So if you are headed that way, relax.As for the film, "Satan's Triangle" is a very odd film...much like combining a horror movie with a soap opera! And, the results are terrible...so terrible it made me feel sorry for its star, Kim Novak. She's simply better than the material she's given. I'm not sure I'd say that about the rest of the cast.The story is about a boat that is adrift in this famous region and three folks make up most of the acting in the film. It's all very silly and boring. As for the ending, it's anything but boring...it's more bat**** crazy--so weird, silly and goofy that it had me in stitches. To know why it was so hilarious, you just have to see it for yourself!Let's cut to the chase...the script is just terrible...completely stupid and embarrassing to watch. If you do end up seeing it, don't say I didn't warn you!!!

The 1970s saw an explosion of interest in the Bermuda)or Del's Triangle) area off the eastern coast of Floriada, where a number of ships, and aircraft as well have either vanished completely, or been found minus their passengers, or crew. It's surprising they TV did not make more such films during the 1970s(although several documentary films were made, for the big screen, and television as well).In brief, Kim Novak plays Eva, sole survivor of a doomed yacht adrift in the Triangle, whose other crew members have met with various paranormal demises. She's wonderfully sinister, yet beautiful at the same time. Without giving too much away, the twist ending may not be so much a surprise to veteran viewers of this type of programming, but is still quite creepy. I would imagine that this film moves slowly for modern viewers, but many films had a more leisurely style still in th '70s than more recently; not really a flaw in my opinion.I do recommend the film, and apparently, it is now available on DVD, good news for those who recall it from their childhoods like myself.

Two airplane pilots are sent to respond to a call for help deep in the middle of Satan's Triangle.They find an abandoned boat adrift with several bodies and just one survivor(Kim Novak).The frightened woman tells Lieutenant Haig(Doug McClure) the details of a dark and frightening voyage into terror as the two spend the night together on the vessel.Unfortunately the sinister tale of Satan's Triangle is linked to the mysterious priest supposedly dead on board."Satan's Triangle" is an eerie gem of early 70's TV-horror.When I was a kid I was fascinated by the mystery of Bermuda Triangle and this film links it with Satanic force.8 triangles out of 10.

I saw this as a young adult while in the Army in Hawaii. I was sick in bed one day and stumbled across this flick just as it started. I have always remembered this film because of the ending. When Doug smiled while bobbing in the water, I just about froze with chills. The Marlin floating below deck was trey creepy too. It was the only time I have ever seen this film. This was in 1976 so its been 30 years and I can still see that expression on his face. I've probably seen hundreds of horror films since and forgotten most of them, but Satans Triangle stands out as one of the best low budget creep fest's to date. well done. I miss Doug McClure.
