The Yellow Triangle is a curious piece from 1917, directed by Emilio Ghione, who seems to have a flair for the supernatural. The atmosphere is thick with suspense, enhanced by practical effects that, while primitive by today’s standards, carry a certain charm. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, which adds to its eerie feel, pulling you in and then suddenly dropping you back out. Themes of isolation and the human psyche weave through the narrative, making it a fascinating reflection of its era. It’s distinct, maybe not for everyone, but there’s a certain allure in Ghione's handling of the material that keeps you engaged.
The Yellow Triangle is quite hard to find, mainly existing in a few archive prints, and it's been overlooked in favor of more mainstream silent films. Collectors are starting to take an interest as more restoration efforts pop up, but it remains somewhat obscure compared to Ghione's other works. The scarcity and the unique blend of horror and psychological elements make it a nice conversation piece for any collection focused on early cinema.
