Triangle - What is the secret on the ship?

Chris Smith (Severance, Creep) has a new film called Triangle, it looks very good in a time twisty kind of way (I posted the trailer ages ago but it was taken down - not sure how long this one will be up). Melissa George (30 Days of Night, Dark City) is the star. You can catch it at the UK FrightFest on 27th August. STYD had the photo.

When Jess hits a seagull on a drive to the local harbour, little does she know that it is a harrowing omen of things to come. She sets sail on a yacht with a group of friends and already things are not as they seem - she just cant put her finger on why.

Her suspicions are heightened when the yacht hits a storm and the group is forced to board a passing ocean liner to get to safety - a ship Jess is convinced shes been on before. The ship appears deserted, the clock on board has stopped, but they are not alone. Someone is intent on hunting them down, one by one. And Jess unknowingly holds the key to end the terror.

Have a look at the trailer and let me know what you think is the cause of what is going on. I reckon it is some kind of Timecrimes thing.

Los Cronocrímenes (Timecrimes) - Time Travel Mystery involving a bloke with a pink bandage on his head

Hector (Karra Elejalde) is relaxing on a lawn chair outside of his new country home, surveying the nearby hillside through a pair of binoculars, when he catches sight of what appears to be a nude woman amidst the trees. Hiking up to investigate, he is attacked by a sinister figure whose head is wrapped in a grotesque, pink bandage. Fleeing in terror, he takes refuge in a laboratory atop the hill, where a lone attendant (director Nacho Vigalondo) ushers him in to a peculiar scientific contraption. He emerges what seems to be moments later, only to find that he has traveled back hours in time, setting in motion a brain-twisting, horrifying chain of events when he inadvertently runs into himself.

Says director Vigalondo: “TIMECRIMES comes from my love of classic science fiction and crime stories. Writers like James Cain, Philip K. Dick, or directors like Fritz Lang. The idea of building a tragic paradox with such few elements is my attempt to going back to the classics and trying to bring back something new.”

Timecrimes (aka Los Cronocrímenes) is both written and directed by Spanish filmmaker Nacho Vigalondo, who is making his big screen debut here after directing and acting in numerous shorts, including the Oscar nominated 7:35 in the Morning. The film first premiered at the Fantastic Fest last year and has since gone on to play numerous film festivals. Magnet Releasing is distributing Timecrimes and it will hit limited theaters sometime in late 2008 or early 2009.
