Triangle is a 2009 psychological horror thriller film written and directed by Christopher Smith, and starring Melissa George and Michael Dorman. The film was released in the United Kingdom on 16 October 2009. George plays a single mother who goes on a boating trip with several friends. When they are forced to abandon their ship, they board a derelict ocean liner, where they become convinced that someone is stalking them.
While preparing to take her autistic son Tommy on a boat trip with her friend Greg, Jess hears the doorbell ring, but no one is there. She later arrives at the harbor without Tommy, claiming he's at school, and boards Greg's boat. She meets Greg's married friends Sally and Downey, Sally's friend Heather, and Victor, a runaway teen living with Greg. While out at sea, the wind dies and a storm approaches, and they pick up a distress signal while radioing the coast guard. The storm capsizes the boat, during which Heather is swept out into the water, and the others climb onto the upturned boat when the storm clears.
They board an ocean liner as it passes; it appears to be deserted, though Jess experiences a growing sense of déjà vu as they explore. They find Jess's keys in a corridor near a display case for Aeolus, the ship's namesake, leading Sally to believe Heather has also boarded. Jess soon spots someone watching them and Victor gives chase. She and Greg continue on and find "Go To Theater" written in blood on a mirror. After they part, Victor finds Jess and tries to kill her; she fights him off by aggravating a wound at the back of his head. She hears a gunshot and follows it to a theater, where Sally and Downey accuse her of killing Greg and sending them there. A burlap-masked shooter kills them from above and chases Jess to the front deck; she fights back and disarms the shooter, who speaks in a muffled voice before falling overboard.
She soon hears yelling, and sees herself and the others alive on Greg's upturned boat. After they board, Jess becomes the earlier unseen figure: she drops her keys near the display case and is spotted shortly after. She attempts to warn Victor when he catches up to her, only to accidentally impale his head on a wall hook. She flees deeper into the ship and finds duplicates of shotguns, the shooter's outfit, her own locket, and a note saying to kill them all when they board. She takes a shotgun, intending to "change the pattern", and is able to save everyone except Greg, but the shooter, another Jess, kills the men and mortally wounds Sally.
