From Christopher Smith, director of cult hits Creep, Severance and Triangle, comes a brutal and terrifying epic that guarantees to chill the blood and stir the soul. I just want to know how long it takes until the excellent Sean Bean shouts, “Come on you bastards!”
In a plague-ridden medieval England, Osmund (Eddie Redmayne), a young monk, is charged in leading the fearsome knight Ulrich (Sean Bean), and his group of mercenaries to a remote village where the inhabitants are unaffected by the deadly pestilence. Their quest is to hunt down a necromancer – someone able to bring the dead back to life.
Their journey is long and brutal; encountering deadly bandits, vicious witch-burnings and their own impeding sense of doom. Though it’s upon entering the village that their true horror begins…
Icon Home Entertainment is pleased to announce the 1st March Blu-ray and DVD release of the psychological horror film TRIANGLE starring Melissa George (30 Days of Night). From acclaimed British director Christopher Smith (CREEP, SEVERANCE) Triangle is a unique conceptual horror film that that turns the genre on its head.
When Jess (Melissa George) and her friend Greg (Michael Dorman) set sail with a group of friends, she cannot shake the feeling something is wrong. When the yacht hits the eye of the storm, the group is forced to board a mysterious passing ocean liner; a deserted ship that Jess is convinced she’s been on before. Although it appears to be deserted, they soon discover that are not alone. Someone is intent on hunting them down, one by one, and Jess unknowingly holds the key to end the penultimate terror.
The Blu-ray and DVD release is jam-packed with the following Special Features:
* The Making of Triangle
* Audio Commentary with director Christopher Smith
* 3 Storyboards (The Storm, Jess Walking Through The Mirror, The Car Crash)
* Deleted Scenes
* Competition Winners Poster Design
* The Storm Special Effects Featurette
Says director Christopher Smith – “I came up with the idea that a girl arrives on a deserted ship, sees another figure on the top of the ship that we can’t identify, and then by the end of the first loop, she is that girl looking down at herself arriving. I have no idea where that came from, although I have always loved movies that play with structure and time, like “Memento” and “Reservoir Dogs”. And I wanted to employ those techniques in a psychological thriller narrative. So the idea came first, and then I had to write a story and the characters around the concept – a “Twilight Zone” idea really.”
Triangle is a completely different take on the horror or thriller genre. It’s a psychological thriller that will definitely scare you. The film is innovative and highly original and the characters have real depth, all of which combines to make it a very striking piece.” Says producer Chris Brown – “In the first fifteen minutes you think you know exactly where the film is going, and then about fifteen minutes later you have absolutely no idea what’s happening at all. It’s a real rollercoaster and a very clever piece of writing.”
Producer Jason Newmark says that Christopher Smith always works to entertain his audience, but with this film wanted to give them something new, something different and something original. Says Chris: “I’ve grown up loving horror movies but I wanted this to be something more than that. It doesn’t just work to scare you; it also works to make the audience really think. There are so many twists and turns, and I hope it will challenge the audience.”
Christopher Smith (Severance) is directing the story, which features Bean as a knight named Ulric who is scouring the bubonic plague-ravaged countryside for Langiva, a woman who conjures the dead back to life. Carice van Houten is playing Langiva.
I posted the poster for this one back in November last year and it looks as if they’ve started shooting it. Should be quite a film.
