Satan's Triangle (1975 TV Movie)
7/10
This isn't the Lord's place...
30 September 2022
I saw this TV movie when I was just a kid still, and remarkably, I still remember the ending to this day. Just goes to show what an impression the twist ending must have made on me...

I'm so happy that I was able to find this again after so many years - thanks to streaming services. (Would have loved to obtain this on DVD or even Blu Ray!). The film sees coast guards Pagnolini (Michael Conrad) and Haig (Doug McClure) responding to a distress call coming from the centre of the Bermuda Triangle - or Devil's Triangle or Satan's Triangle, as it is also known.

Arriving there, they find a yacht, seemingly abandoned and visibly battered from a severe storm. When Haig goes on board, he discovers bodies, and a lone survivor. The film then follows the survivor's telling of what happened. I found it compelling from beginning to end. The film has a simple premise, and is set almost entirely on the yacht.

The performances are good, and Alejandro Rey delivered a creepy performance as Father Peter Martin. Oh, and I absolutely love that twist ending I so fondly remembers!!

Would I watch it again? Yes, for sure.
