What is Triangle about?

Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)
It leaves the ending open to interpretation.
Triangle (2009)
A yacht excursion turns terrifying as a woman's unsettling premonitions manifest in chilling, surreal ways.
Suspenseful. A late-night trip at a measured pace. Emotionally it is heavy.
