The film only makes some kind of sense on its own fantastic level.

It's creepy, atmospheric stuff and at every twist of this Möbius strip we wonder how Smith will keep things going. But he manages it with considerable skill and we leave his picture suitably shaken.

The whole film is smart cinema. I wouldn’t be surprised if Smith didn’t land up with a contract in Hollywood.

A satisfying mind-twister, with an unexpectedly poignant pay-off. You’ll see where it’s going quite early on, but it still keeps some shocks back for the final act.

Melissa George’s fearless, credible performance grounds the madness in a moving emotional reality, even as her sanity is lost at sea.

Without question Smith's most mature film to date, and one of the best (and most bewildering) genre films of 2009.

If you can get past its logical inconsistencies — and they are legion — it’s not bad.

A rather smart, interestingly constructed scary movie from British director Christopher Smith.

Destined to become a fully-fledged classic of the horror genre.

A decent supernatural thriller undone by an unfortunate structural flaw.

Choppy then, and prone to listing, but with Triangle Smith has come of age.

The story springs several leaks, but a cool concept, striking set-pieces and an outstanding central performance manage to keep Christopher Smith’s vessel afloat.

Triangle is one of the most ingeniously constructed horrors of recent years, and one you'll want to watch again to get your nicely baffled head around.

Any director who can make a film that dares to be this expressionistic is a talent to watch.

The real mystery, mind you, is how a film this dreadful ever got made.

So many questions and not many answers as this proves to be a film stronger on suspense than satisfaction. Ultimately it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense but it is fairly intriguing while it lasts.

Until a film-maker can square that circle of repetition, time loop movies will continue to bore.

Rackingly involving and, as corpses multiply, fearless of appearing penny-dreadful. Smith also made the loopy shocker Severance. This is becoming a body of work to watch.

This seaborne psycho-thriller has an unusual creepiness about it.

Triangle is Smith's best film to date, a hugely enjoyable thriller with a great script and a career-best performance from Melissa George.
