Zero points (of terror...) out of ten
8 December 2005
Irredeemably bad & cheesy 70's horror (if you can call it horror...) that trickily lured me in renting it because it stars Dyanne Thorne, a couple of years before her "Ilsa" breakthrough. Exactly as it was the case with "Blood Sabbath", this turned out a painful rookie mistake. "Point of Terror" is unendurably boring trash with a completely uninteresting plot (about a lousy pop-singer trying to screw together a record contract), bleak characters, absolutely no tension and the most redundant and overlong flashback sequence in the history of horror cinema! Thorne stars as the spoiled wife of a record company owner who's not afraid to kill every person that gets in the way of her getting what she wants. I fell asleep twice during this movie, each time for a good ten minutes, and still nothing had happened by the times I woke up again. No matter how much I appreciate independent low-budget horror productions, there's nothing even remotely recommendable about "Point of Terror". The story becomes even more inept halfway through the film, with the introduction of totally new characters but, if you're smart enough, you'll never reach this point (...of terror)
