Triangle (2009) | Time Loops, Greek Mythology, & The Psychology of Endless Self-Punishment

Hello Club Members and happy Friday! Lately, it feels like we're stuck in an endless time loop of shiddiness, which is why this week we are diving deep into the mind-bending psychological horror Triangle (2009).While this cult-classic film is incredibly on the nose with its Greek mythology references, from naming the ship Aeolus after the father of Sisyphus to the cast literally spoon-feeding us the legend, it stands as a brilliant, heartbreaking representation of trauma. We break down the inescapable cycle of trying to redo your past mistakes, only for everything to end in the exact same tragic way. Jess’s endless loop is a clear depiction of what happens when people refuse to accept their grief and circumstances, trapping themselves in a prison of subconscious self-punishment where they recreate their own trauma over and over again.Please give us a like, follow, and review and share with your friends and family. You can even share it with the weird teen you let live on your boat with you, that's none of our business.Also, don't forget to keep an eye out on our IGs to vote on what you want us to cover next!Staaaaaayyyy spooky, and we will see you next week for Alien (1979)!TIMESTAMPS:Intro - Spooky Rants: 00:00 - 00:09Movie Facts & Trigger Warnings: 00:09 - 00:18Recap: 00:18 - 01:00Analysis: 01:00 - 01:22Reviews: 01:22 - 01:30Next Week: 01:30Follow the Club:Instagram/TikTok: @9LivesHorrorClubFacebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61586924439952⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen on: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your spooky fixKeep the hot takes rolling:⁠⁠https://www.reddit.com/r/9LivesHorrorClub/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check Out Our Reviews:LetterBoxd: ⁠⁠https://boxd.it/hYN3H⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch On:YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@9LivesHorrorClub⁠
