The Triangle

Luke Perry, Dan Cortese (2001) A close group of friends vacationing in the Caribbean experiences terror upon encountering a boat thought to have sunk many years earlier.

This one has David Hewlett. Playing his regular Dr. McKay-type nerd-type character. With a kind of ridiculous hat. Who apparently has a bad heart. Which has now killed him, about an hour and a half after writing the last sentence.

And now we know what happened to Sheriff Carter's wife after she left Eureka... She moved to Bermuda, and became the first mate on a really crappy boat...

Also, this movie is pretty much the same as every other Bermuda Triangle movie. Ever. Except for that SciFi Miniseries called Triangle... Which was actually pretty decent.

The plot of this one is that a group of people end up in the Bermuda Triangle, and come across a ship that got lost a long time ago. They go aboard, and one of the friends gets possessed by one of the original passengers, goes ape-shit, and kills everyone. And then one of the male characters (not the bat-shit-crazy one), and one of the attractive female characters survive.

Sadly, its not David Hewlett who survives. Darn shame.

Must poop.

And now we're gonna see how accurate my prediction is. We're down to one female character, one of the lead characters, and Captain Token Black Guy, hilariously named Captain Morgan... But now he's been brained by a cricket bat, and then repeatedly shot... So, its down to evil guy, male lead character, and Abby Carter...

And now Male Lead has committed the ultimate movie mistake of "I've hit the bad guy with a cricket bat, so now he must clearly be dead". Which he clearly isn't...

And for going 0 miles per hour, this huge-ass boat can turn surprisingly quickly. I guess that's the ghost-ness of the ship...

And although they are close enough to the huge ocean liner to hit it with a flare gun, they are far enough away to avoid any sort of shrapnel from its explosion. Or really any effects of the explosion.
