Triangle vs. Onibaba

Onibaba is full of entertaining despair. All the characters are desperate and/or lacking in decency, and so it's kind of like a Soap Opera - with a dark, horror-ish ending. Triangle is also about desperation, but of the stuck in a time loop variety. I find Melissa George fetching, so that helps my enjoyment of the movie. But I also like eeriness and bloodshed. And there's one part toward the end that is hilarious (in a movie that is pretty grave in its tone). I guess Onibaba sticks with me more. Maybe because it's more emotionally stirring.
