Triangle: The Time Loop Disaster - Phelous 

After all these years, I sometimes find myself singing “Triangle, triangle, triangle, triangle…”

The triangle song pops in my head at least once a week

Doubt you will see this, but I just wanted to say I really appreciate you continually re-editing these older videos countless times so they can stay online.

This is not a re-edit, we just saw the latest iteration of the time loop

As someone who discovered you for your animation reviews, I’ve always really liked this episode. That Triangle Song always pops in my head whenever I hear that melody.

I love how phelous' COMEDY SKIT established a better more believable time loop than the movie!!!!! 😄😅

One of my favorite of Phelous' horror movie reviews. Seeing him go over all the ways the time loop plot makes no sense is a treat.

Phelous' time-loop plot in his own skit section made more sense than the movie's.

This review still holds up so well. The way you weaved the movie's plot into your review and mirrored it, that's so good. My husband and I still sing Triangle, triangle from time to time. Your work is such a treasure!

This movie reminds me of a pivotal piece of advice I heard from Dean Cundey: _"Don't make a time-travel story unless you're going to make it good."_

Tbe awkward moment when Phelous' deliberately nonsense timeloop plot to parody the movie makes more sense than the movie's accidental nonsense timeloop plot.

To this day, when watching a movie or show that has some nonsense time travel mechanic, my buddy and I turn to each other and sing "Triangle, triangle, triangle, triangle…" *Every* single time.

The year is 2071, Future-Phelan has just re-edited the Triangle review for the 37th time. Meanwhile, 2010 Phelan is still checking his handwriting against the phrase "If he finishes the review he must die".

I'm glad the world gave us you Phelous. I'm alive today because of you and your sense of humor. You made me laugh so much , through so many dark periods in my life. Thanks man. Btw I love this movie lol.

Thank you for keeping yourself stuck in an infinite edit loop just so we can keep enjoying your classics, Phelous.

Behold, the power of a fully armed and operational Triangle Trinalge Triangle song.

So many triangles nobody ever gets lost or get put in a time loop in an octagon.

That Triangle song is still a BOP years later!

I was literally trying to find this review on your page yesterday. Glad to see it's back up.

Boy, Phelous must be using that fancy skin treatment I've seen on ads on RU-vid. It made him look 11 years younger.

I can't imagine how time consuming it is to go back and re-edit all your old videos, so I really respect your dedication

The *OBJECTION* sequences in this review were and still are some of the best review skits/breakdowns I've ever seen over 10+ years of watching many many reviews.

This one has stuck in my mind for a long, long time. For whatever reason.

Makes my heart warm to know that 12,000 people rewatched the Triangle review in little more than a day in 2021.

The fact that the only reason anything goes wrong at all is due to Jess' continual, incomprehensible stupidity is one of most aggrevating plot devices ever conceived

Damned shame that everything's had to be re-edited due to RU-vid's shitty algorithm. Still, always been a fan of your videos, Phelan! Thank you for still keeping them up in some form. Makes me nostalgic to go back to them and watch all over again..

Originally aired 2010... good lord have I been watching Phelous for this long :O

sees Phelan with axe *THIS IS INDEED A DISTURBING UNIVERSE*

Man, after over a decade i still watch your videos to fall asleep to. This one and the resident evil ones are my favorite!

How does the "loops restars once everyone dies" make sense, when Jess did not die and the loop restarted? For that matter, why did her future self think this is a good idea, instead of just escaping the ship?

This is one of those unplanned, weird timing things, but I just realized watching these in-order: Hugo Stiglitz, the star of "Nightmare City" (the review immediately prior to this one) was ALSO in a badly dubbed Italian horror movie called... "Bermuda Triangle" about a boat crew that gets stuck in a time warp exploring the Bermuda Triangle. It'd be a bigger concidence if he wasn't in approximately 20 movies every year (up to and including this one).

I can't say how many times you've had to re-edit your old videos such as this one. You could even call it 'Triangle - Phelous (Re-Re-Re-Re-edit) and counting.'

I love this one. I still link the "Triangle" song to folks in chats whenever triangles are mentioned~

Love you phelous. I'm glad you're still doing your thing man. I've been a big fan since 2012 when blip tv was still a thing

This type of movie would have needed a genius director to get it right, and even then, no guarantees.

Phelan's movie, toy, and TMNT reviews are always great to watch whenever, you're an entertaining man!

Another Re-Edit, another like and comment. This is getting more cyclical than the movie itself!

this will always be one of my favourite review with one of the most complex skit ever

It never ceases to amaze me how entertaining your reviews of bad movies really are. The people responsible for these dreadful films should really be thanking you because without your reviews, their movies fail to be even the slightest bit entertaining. Congratulations for doing what these awful scriptwriters and directors couldn't accomplish! 🖤

This was one of the best reviews. The way he perfectly emulated their "time-loop" theory 😂

i just love the fact you have tardis in you backyard just like that

I still do the dun-dun-din-dun from this episode, to family and friends when ever there is a twist. So, thank you for that lol

Boy is this like a freaking time capsule of how RU-vid reviews were 10 years ago. While it has its charms you have grown so much as a creator since then.

Phelous deserves an Oscar for his writing & effects!

It must feel like you're really in Triangle having to constantly redo this review.

This is the review that made me a fan all those years ago.

We are in a never ending time loop where FAIL US reuploads Triangle over and over!!!

I cant believe my favorite Phelous video is nearly 11 years old

My english is not so good but I try to explain the "time travel plot holes": Jess and her son died in the car accident. The taxi driver is a kind of "grim reaper". She wanted him to bring her to the port. He asked her "do you come back" (to accept her dead and leave) and she said "yes". But she didn't come back and tried to run away from the death. She and the others died in the storm. The loop is her punishment for running away (and maybe abusing her son). Which means the reaper created the loop. There isn't exactly a start of the loop with only one jess, there are always four of them. She could escape the loop if she wouldn't tell the reaper to drive her to the port. She should go with him and accept that she is dead. It makes no sence in a scientific way of course if you look at the loop like it has something to do with time travel.... but it isn't time travel... it's kind of "magic" from the devil if you will😅 The movie wasn't intended to be scientifically correct. I watched a lot of explanation videos about this movie because I was also so annoyed by the plot holes🙈 A story like that exists in the bible or something, and there are easter eggs in the movie about the "original story". Anyway, great and funny review, I subscribed👌👌👌

Favorite review ever! So glad to re-watch it again and again and AGAIN! Seriously I do love rewatching this one.

Well, commenting for the algorythm again, and again and again and again ....

Absolutely LOVE the Phoenix Right theme and Objection part popping up. I laughed so hard and you really nailed the contradictions. I like movies with that concept, but... this one.. really f***d it up... It's not well thought through at all.. and that makes it just one thing: stupid. Tossing the bodies overboard made them wet... and you all know what that means.. They're completely useless now!

This is one of my favorite movie reviews of all time by anyone, im so glad you were able to keep it up on youtube

This is my favorite review you've ever done! Nice to see it get some attention again.

Yesssssss it was my favorite of your old reviews! So glad it's back!

Supposedly she is not in a time loop, but instead she is dead and in hell/limbo, so everything that happens is is part of her punishment for killing her son, meaning that she is trapped in a nightmare she cant escape from that endlessly loops. At least that was explained to me by someone who likes that movie

_"Experiencing time paradoxes? Try 'Angle' today!"_

This is such a good review still! Glad I got to see it again. =) For anyone interested in a horror video game that has a similar premise but is executed (IMO) in a way better manner, I highly recommend checking out Cat in the Box. I wouldn't be surprised if it actually got inspiration from Triangle in some ways, but it makes a lot more sense plot-wise and adheres to its rules consistently.

Ah, Triangle. The film that's almost good, but not, but almost good but not, but almost but no Honestly though, the idea of items and bodies piling with each loop is conceptually interesting. It's a nonsensical mess here, but a neat idea nonetheless

Nice to see one of my fav reviews of yours back up

I saw this movie a few years ago and really enjoyed it. I suppose the logic does come apart if you think about it, as is often the problem with time travel stories.

"Triangle, triangle, triangle, triangle" is definitely one of those Phelous things that just randomly pops into my head from time to time. I really feel like Melissa George should have had a better career than she ended up with. She's nice looking, pretty likeable, and a good actor even in a crappy movie like this one.

seems that when the Olson Twins went on that cruise when they where kids from that clip in that review you and Alison did the cruise was heading directly into *THE TRIANGLE*

This movie will make more sense if you actually imagine it as an alternate dimension instead of time travel, all these copies are just from alternate universes, that would help explain some of the errors.

I've already watching this the last time you re-uploaded this, but commenting and watching again for the RU-vid algorithm

These Groundhog Day/Ghost Ship/Looper scenarios never end with the obvious, The time traveler falling in love with her other self and doing a time displacing make out scene.

ayyyy my favorite review! honestly i'm glad it's gonna get more attention now

Have you thought of reviewing the film Death Ship which is about a group of friends who get saved by a mysterious ship it came out before both ghost ship and triangle did back in 1980.

So basically, with regard to a movie about a time Loop, we are stuck in a Time Loop of watching the review again and again and again for the first time.

One of my all-time favorites of your reviews

I had some weird nonsensical dream that I won some contest and got to meet Phelan and he let me hang out at his place with him and Allison and he was pretty chill, we ate Canadian snacks that aren’t available in the U.S. then we went to some mall and I got lost. This is what happens when you go to sleep with his reviews on repeat. 10/10 would dream again 👌🏼

Why am I getting Unedited Footage of a Bear vibes from this movie, specially the last bits with the mother killing herself and whatnot? And like, this movie had a lot of potential, but it's such a mess!

And then Phelous looked down over the side of the review, and saw all the clippings from the previous re-edits!

Time loop stories are intriguing but always seem to leave out how the loop got started. E: Anybody else always sing along with the end credits?

I was just watching happy death day with your reprisal and thought about how great this review is. Thanks for the re-upload.

Glad to see this back! Classic review!

the triangle song is now stuck in my head. also nice to see re edits of older vid's I've not seen. rather enjoy em. and bootleg zones are goat 😎

One of the first reviews I ever watched from Phelous, aged like a fine wine.

One of my all time favorites from you.😊

Another re edit? Still one of your the best horror reviews that makes my top 10 favorite phelous horror reviews

Nice re-edited of this amazing video

🎵Triangle, Triangle, Triangle, Triangle🎵

I have watched this review several times, even caught the movie on Freevee or something. The only logical way the ending makes any sense is if the second loop starts everything, since that is when she broke time by killing her past self, and all the time displacement is a side effect. So the version that kills herself goes on to write the note, and the mirror note, and catch her necklace on the grate. But, since she kills her looped self mid way through, everything falls apart. Kinda like this movie.

Oh yeah I remember this review triangle especially with the time loop skit that was really funny back in the day. 😃

I have always loved your movie reviews. I only wish there were more to sift through, Ive seen your whole channel aside from more recent turtles episodes. Keep up the grind Phelous!

Also the ace attorney objection references in horror movie review is really great nice job.

I was looking for the original video and never found it, thanks.

Yay! glad this was reuploaded

I'm glad its back, this is one of my favs! what keeps needing to be re-edited tho?

Man, when’s the sequel, Square, coming out? Squares are WAY more scary than stupid triangles.

Holy shit, this was originally from 2010?? I've been watching Phelous a long bloody time! I can't believe how fast the last decade went.

Why? Why did I feel the need to watch this again before bed? I feel the Triangle Song burrowing deep into my brain as we speak. Really though, thank you for another re-edit of this review. To be honest, it’s my favorite.

Triangle... Triangle.. 🔽 *sings along*

Thank you for this booster shot of the Triangle, Triangle song. I am now prepared to annoy my friends for another decade.

So what was cut out I wonder? I'll have to compare them since I have a downloaded copy of the original. This is probably one of my favorites. That and five across the eyes.

this is one of many reviews that you've done that holds up, especially you singing Triangle. someone should make a synth wave mix of the song but using Phelous singing periodically. that would be awesome. ^-^

Ironic re-edit, Ironic re-edit, Ironic re-edit

Love the review and I didn't notice any edits, at least not if I don't watch them side by side. But I'm guessing there is a set number of loops that occur before it repeat. Its the best I could come up with to explain how many shotguns are on the rack, necklaces in the grate, and dead bodies on the deck. I think we're seeing the end of one full loop and going into the next one. But they didn't show, they didn't tell, so we're left to think of it ourselves.

Woah, a blast from the past. God I forgot how good that doctor who opening was!

RU-vid wont show this video when you search Phelous Triangle review for some reason
