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.

Very good docu-drama about the world's most famous 'hot-spot'.Fine film of humanity's past confrontations with strange goings-on in the 'devil's triangle', including true stories like 'Flight 19' where 5 American naval aircraft disappeared in the area of the triangle during a 'routine' training mission and the story of the ship 'Mary Celeste', as well as many other unexplained incidents. Good references to Charles Berlitz' book 'The Bermuda Triangle' and accounts competently documented in author David Group's book of the same name.Fun on the entertainment level also as narrator Brad Crandall trenchantly states, "Man cannot rest until we find out what is going on here in the Bermuda Triangle."

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.

I first saw this movie as a kid, so naturally I was taken in by it. The thing is that its a good time filler, but its almost completely inaccurate. There was a book I read a long time ago called The Bermuda Triangle Mystery Solved by a man named Larry Kusche who had done extensive research on all of the disappearances and had come up with startling facts. More then a few of the disappearances never happened, they happened away from the Bermuda Triangle, or they were perfectly explainable. They did an investigation once and compared the number of disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle to the number of disappearances in other areas of the ocean that are the same size, they actually said that the Bermuda Triangle is one of the safest areas to travel through! This film claims that no debris was ever found in all the "hundreds" of disappearances in the triangle, Kusche pointed out that there was debris found after some of the disappearances. This film devotes a lot of time to the disappearance of Flight 19. The facts are this, these pilots were not experienced, they were all student pilots except for their flight leader Lieutenant Charles Taylor and he was new to the area. They found out that Taylor's compasses malfunctioned and he thought they were way off course and instead of flying towards their base they were actually going away from their base. The weather got very bad and in this bad weather, in rough weas in the dead of night, the planes ran out of fuel....well you get the idea. There have been a number of Avenger bombers found in the ocean so you cant say conclusively the wreckage of Flight 19 has never been found. Also there was a big PBY that disappeared searching for Flight 19. A ship saw a huge explosion in the air where this PBY was flying and they said later on that some fool was sneaking a cigarette and...well you get the idea. This film plays so fast and loose with the facts that its almost laughable.
