Set in Florida — but shot in Brisbane and Oz’s Gold Coast, with a largely Australian cast pretending to be Yanks — the story starts in mystifying fashion with stressed-out single mom Jess (Melissa George) and her autistic young son, Tommy (Joshua McIvor), in their suburban home. Jess appears to lose her son and turns up alone at a dock where b.f. Greg (Michael Dorman) has invited her and some friends for a spin on his yacht.Also on board are married couple Downey and Sally (Henry Nixon, Rachael Carpani), sailor Victor (Liam Hemsworth) and Sally’s friend, Heather (Emma Lung), whom Sally wants to pair off with Greg, as she doesn’t like Jess. Jess herself seems more strung out than a clothes line, and as soon as they set sail, she starts dreaming she’s woken up alone on a beach.
Smith doesn’t waste much time on character development, as that’s hardly the movie’s point. The pic is soon rife with symbols: from the yacht’s name, Triangle, to the sudden, very Bermuda Triangle-y development when the boat is trashed by a flash electrical storm. As the six sit on the overturned hull, a seemingly deserted ship called the SS Aeolus appears, and they hop on.triangle
Ancient Greek scholars will already be several steps ahead of the protags by this point — Aeolus was the father of Sisyphus (nudge, nudge) — though Smith’s script does fill in some of his symbols for nonclassicists. As soon as Jess says she’s starting to get deja vu, she comes face to face with a masked figure carrying a shotgun. And then the slaughter starts.Early reels are genuinely intriguing, as Smith lays out his table, and the cool widescreen lensing by Aussie d.p. Robert Humphreys (”Somersault”) stokes up the atmosphere as the actors wander the boat’s interiors. (”The Shining,” referenced in a room number, never seems far off.) However, once the basic idea is revealed around the hour mark, Smith keeps the viewer waiting for a logical explanation that never comes: The film only makes some kind of sense on its own fantastic level.
George, eye-catching in denim shorts and white tank-top, dominates the movie in a tour de force of contrasting emotions. The rest of the cast is largely shotgun fodder, with only Carpani etching something of a character.
Aussie locations just look superficially like Florida, and Smith appears to deliberately underline the joke with a reference to the “Sunshine State” (a local nickname for Queensland).

British filmmaker Smith (Severance) comes up with an effectively disorienting premise that consistently keeps us both unsettled and unsure what might happen next. It may be a bit vague for some viewers, but others will love it.
Jess (George) is clearly having a bad morning when she joins her friend Greg (Dorman) for a day trip on his gorgeous sailboat with his friends Sally and Downey (Carpani and Nixon), their friend Heather (Lung) and Greg's shipmate Victor (Hemsworth). After a sudden freak storm, they are rescued by an ocean liner that seems to be utterly empty. Except that they start dying one by one. Sort of. And Jess is the only one who has an inkling that she may be able to stop the cycle of violence.
Smith effectively establishes the characters in the opening sequence with just enough detail to fill in their personalities so we can pick and choose who to identify with. From the start, Jess is the emotional eye of the storm, as she obsesses about her son (Joshua Taylor) back home and travels to some very dark places as the story progresses. Except that it doesn't so much progress as swirl and undulate. Deducing exactly what's happening here probably isn't possible, so it's best to just sit back and let the film take you for a ride.
And trips into the Bermuda Triangle don't get much more gruesomely entertaining than this. Despite its repetitive structure, the film is packed with moments that make us jump, usually because Smith has carefully orchestrated a shock that feels even more powerful because we know it's coming. And the psychological aspect of the premise gives us plenty to grapple with as well, while providing George with another frazzled scream-queen role.
Like a hellish version of Groundhog Day, the film's structure feels like a scratched record, skipping around in circles as it torments poor Jess with unthinkable horror that doesn't always make logical or emotional sense. Some scenes are seriously savage in their brutality, and the cumulative freak-out is both grim and unnerving. Even if Smith's loose approach doesn't answer every dangling question, it still gets to us. Which is something rare in horror movies at the moment.
