The Triangular Door

About This Movie

So, The Triangular Door is quite the wild ride, isn't it? This oddball comedy explores the last remnants of a vanished civilization caught up in a bizarre reality show. I mean, where else are you gonna find a salesman, a triangular door, and a three-faced demon? The Super 8 aesthetic gives it this grainy, nostalgic vibe that feels pretty unique, and Maddin's narration adds an extra layer of surrealism. Adam Green delivers a quirky performance as the Earth's Salesman, which is just as strange as it sounds. It's a real mixed bag of themes, blending humor with a kind of existential dread, all while keeping the pacing unpredictable. Definitely not your typical comedy, that's for sure.

This film has a bit of obscurity around it, and if you're digging into Super 8 works, it's definitely worth a look. The limited releases make it somewhat of a rarity in collector circles, and there’s growing interest as more people discover its unique narrative style. It’s not the kind of film that pops up often, so if you find an original print, it might be a conversation starter for sure.
