Excellent story about the famed 'hot spot'.Brad Crandall narrates this 1979 film which documents many of the strange disappearances that have occurred in the Triangle. Fine dramatizations make the film more immediate with just enough time spent there before the viewer is returned to Crandall's narrative.Among the stories reviewed are 'Flight 19', the 'Mary Celeste', the 'Cyclops', and the 'Philadelphia Experiment'. Many frightening moments with solid special-fx.Well worth the time and much better than many other versions of this phenomena. Recommended.

A Schick Sunn Classics speculative docudrama directed by Richard Friedenberg based on the popular book by Charles Berlitz concerning the legendary Bermuda Triangle, and the mysterious ship and plane vanishings and strange occurrences that have been reported there for centuries, even as far back as Christopher Columbus who is believed to have seen UFO's in the area in 1492! The famous missing flight 19 from 1945 is also profiled, as are several other reported stories. Brad Crandall presents this quite well, as he had many other films of this type from the 1970's. Not bad for nostalgic value, certainly entertaining, though also amateurish at times, even a bit outlandish.

Attack of the Sunn Classic documentaries!!! For those who don't know Sunn Classics used to release films on Bigfoot, UFOs, life after death and assorted other subjects to hundreds of theaters for brief stays and then flood the TV stations with commercials for their sensational fare. The films were usually Brad Crandall doing narration and acting as on screen host as we saw lots of recreations of supposedly true events. As a kid we ate this stuff up. Here Sunn Classics give the once over to Charles Berlitz's book on the strange disappearances that happened in and around the supposed Bermuda Triangle. Of course since the ships and planes disappeared we simply get lots of questions and lots of recreations. I've read the source book and its reasonable enough to make you wonder if perhaps something is going on. I can't say I fully buy the premise but its full of good yarns. unfortunately the stories don't always play out so well when recreated. Part of the problem is that seeing the events makes them seem sillier than they are and partly the cheap special effects make the whole affair seem cheap. (I won't even get into the liberties the film takes with the material from the book). As a serious film you won't believe a word of it. As a throw back to a simpler time before the likes of the Discovery Channel this is a blast. Its entertaining in a silly sort of away. Watching it again for the first time in a decade or so I can't believe that this film scared some of my friends. Recommended if you're in the right frame of mind.

Now, this is not a horror picture, but it managed to chill me once or twice. But that was probably because I was all alone and I was looking out my window thinking about the possibility of UFO activity. The rest of this film is composed of several segments that are to show what supposedly happened to some of the planes and ships that have disappeared within the Bermuda Triangle.Based on the book by Charles Berlitz, and narrated by Brad Crandall, this film gives numerous explanations to what could have possibly happened.*Maybe a spoiler* Ranging from everything from UFO's that come from the sky, UFO's from the water, unexplained whirlpools, magnetic warps and even the possibility of the lost continent of Atlantis having to do with some of it.Now, the special effects were really cheap. But you can't blame them. It was good for the time period. If you want to see an account of some of the events that have taken place within the Bermuda Triangle, then see this film. It really gives some of the facts and tells how all of the many disappearances go unreported or unnoticed. So, all in all, I thought it was okay. THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE: 5/5.
