I just wanted to add, that the King Crimson tune they used is, of the same title, on the In The Wake Of Poseidon Lp. Convenient, huh? When I rented the movie to see what cuts they used, all that was used was the same bit over and over. I think they used the the climactic section (for lack of better term, bridge perhaps?) bit too, although you really have to strain to hear it.Cool tune too. Reading the reviews makes me want to see it again, but it was nearly unbearable to watch because the sound was awful. You could barely hear Prices' voice! Everything was buried in a murky mix, and the quality of the photography was sub-par. I wonder if Fripp or the musicians he worked with at the time of recording the piece, got any royalties. I think otherwise, being an obscure number, the film company responsible for this, probably thought they could get away with it. The box the tape came in, stated on the front "original music by King Crimson", Vincent Price and King Crimson together sounds pretty cool though, which prompted me to check it out in the first place.

I saw this turkey in the theater, but I had a good time. The special effects aren't worthy of a grade school production. A toy boat, representing a freighter, moving at speedboat velocity on flat waters while wind driven fog blows in the opposite direction. The red and blue flood lamps add that extra dramatic touch. Whatever cache Vincent Price was supposed to bring as narrator is completely overshadowed by dreadful production work. Calling this a documentary is like calling Britney Spears a musician. About 20 minutes into this, something struck me as very funny. Maybe it was Price's overly dramatic intonation of the oft-used line "They vanished into the Devil's Triangle! [cut to black; next story] Once I started laughing, my friends joined in. Next time Vinny said the crucial line, someone in the back yelled out: "Good!" After that, it got almost as many laughs as a Marx Brothers film. Nobody stayed for the dreadfully serious second feature "Chariots of the Gods."

It was in released in the mid-1970s when everybody was coming out with movies trying to explain the Bermuda Triangle craze. Unlike most of those (which were mostly documentaries anyway), this one was a fictional explanation. It seems pretty straightforward in it's storytelling until the last ten minutes. It is this last ten minutes that actually frightened me. If you have the chance to see this one I'd recommend it.

Coast Guard finds a boat on an fish trip in the Bermuda Triangle with one female passenger alive an all the others dead from mysterious circumstances. One by one the mysteries of their death are explain or so it seems. This was one of the better ABC movies of the week.
