- TriviaGhost Ship (2002), released in cinemas the year after this TV-film came out, is sometimes considered a remake of this, but it is more likely that both films are simply independent seafaring homages/ripoffs of The Shining (1980).
- GoofsThe ghost ship is referred to in dialog and in captions as "H.M.S. Queen of Scots", however, the HMS designation stands for "Her (or His) Majesty's Ship" and is a designation only for Naval vessels. A cruise ship may be RMS (Royal Mail Ship) or some such, but not HMS.

Featured review
The Triangle is an interesting but ultimately flawed movie. At first you think the picture is going to deliver an enjoyable "the Love Boat enters the Twilight Zone while stopping over at Fantasy Island" sort of escape flick, but it gradually turns out to be a much more low-key and rather clumsy affair.
There are some strong sequences and reasonable acting here, and the players, whether taken individually or collectively, all seem very likable and convincing... Unfortunately the same can't be said for the island setting or the shipboard setting: these seem very contrived and scream "made for TV movie!" at you with every frame. The script seems oddly lacking in many parts. More often than not your attention wanders, potentially intriguing ideas aren't fully explored (or aren't explored at all), and the ending, while suitably eerie, nevertheless feels rushed and makes you feel somewhat cheated. Too bad a little more work wasn't put into the script. And as to the special effects puhleez! How lame can you get!
This could have been so much better! It's still worth watching if you're at all interested in maritime ghost stories, or ever ponder the fate of ships lost in the Bermuda Triangle. Or just want to look at good-looking leads. However, after seeing it, you will probably spend much time mulling over lots and lots of ways in which this movie could have been improved. Exactly why the creators of the movie didn't do those things, well, that's a question the answer to which must be lost somewhere out there in the Triangle. The Bermuda Triangle.
