Leofwine_draca THE BRIDGEWATER TRIANGLE is a low budget paranormal documentary looking at a haunted region in Massachusetts, full of Native American history and fetid old swamps. I enjoy local history and the like but this documentary falls down by almost exclusively focusing on interviews with credulous witnesses who deliver all manner of unscientific and frankly loony testimonials. Genuine investigators like Loren D. Coleman are few and far between and the rest seem to be the usual rednecks who are always described as 'investigators'. You soon notice that most of these chaps are either trying to achieve fame or money for their outlandish stories, and they're all about 40, slightly overweight and with goatee beards. A little more history and a little less credulity and this would have been better.

jdcrash2 I am as a rule a skeptic on the topics covered in this film. NO SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW.But the writers/directors did a great job of finding, gathering and putting this film together. They did a great job of making a film that covers such a wide area and hundreds of years. But the film is so well made and easy to following and flows so well between the stories. Great job. Can't wait to see what they do next.

Wingman S This review is actually for the shortened version that was shown on TV, but even after they had distilled it down to the better material there is still zero substance here.Generally when someone tells you an unbelievable story you automatically start trying to figure out a logical explanation, but for most of the people on this show that isn't relevant, most of them can be dismissed out of hand simply because they are clearly suffering from some sort of mental illness, the rest is likely drug or alcohol related.In the first few minutes we're reliably informed that all of the phenomenon are connected, the bigfoot sightings, UFO's, hauntings and devil worshipping etc, because these things traditionally go hand in hand and trying to connect them isn't the work of a lunatic. 4 minutes in and we get a cryptozoologist who doesn't know that bears can stand upright as well as run on all fours, I realise that it's Pseudoscience and he is actually just a quack, but you'd think he'd know simple stuff like the capabilities of a common bear. This unfortunately sets the trend for the entire show.We live in an era where pretty much everyone carries a phone with photo and video capability, and this is supposed to be an area where loads of weird things happen, logic would dictate that people would be going out of their way to get pictures or video evidence, yet where is it? That's right not a single shred of credible evidence, just anecdotal evidence from a cornucopia of oddballs, and a hilariously bad video from a guy wearing dark glasses and a facial expression that telegraphs his inability to sell the lie, he should absolutely avoid playing poker with that face.I think there is a greater mystery here and questions need to be answered, but that would only be solved by looking at the rate of mental illness in the triangle compared with elsewhere, as there does seem to be clear evidence to suggest there may indeed be something in the water there.

throneofazathoth Whether you have fond memories of the old Leonard Nimoy hosted, "In Search Of" series, or just enjoy urban legends, The Bridgewater Triangle should be just the doc for you. Touching on numerous local phenomenon ranging from UFO sightings, bizarre animal encounters, to true crime investigations, and ghostly happenings, the filmmakers have done an outstanding job examining their subject matter from an unbiased perspective. Presenting their data in an objective fashion, they leave it to we the viewers to make up our own minds on the subject matter. The result being an eminently evenhanded and enjoyable doc. Highly recommended.
