POINT OF TERROR(1971)
In the set: 100 Greatest Terror Classics


Kind of a dark tale about a singer who's experiencing
nightmares about murder and sex! After 20 minutes, no
clue on what the actual plot is here!! After 45
minutes still no hint of a plot!! 47 minutes before
there's some semblance of what the movies about!!!
Long boring music scenes! Some nudity! C

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

A woman cowering in fear. A masked madman brandishing
a butcher knife. "Demons long locked in the depths
of the mind come out to destroy the weak and believing!"
Explore "the outer limits of fear". That's the poster.
I don't think I've ever seen a movie so misrepresented
by the advertising. Or happier about it. Not another
tired, early 70s slasher film by any means, this riot
is about a sleazy side-burned lounge singer (Peter
Carpenter) picked up by a sleazier female record
promoter (Dyanne Thorne) who sees something special
in the guy. We can guess what it is, since most of
the movie is shot at Carpenter's crotch level.
Meanwhile, Thorne's jealous wheelchair-bound husband
isn't going to take his wife's infidelity sitting
down. Enter Thorne's kittenish daughter Lots of
wonderfully bad faux 70s pop songs, over-heated
dialogue and teeth-gnashing, and two outlandish
murders. Dig it. - pubguy47
