Nightmares, nudity, and poolside peril swirl around a lounge singer's deadly desires.
POINT OF TERROR
Demons long locked in the depths of the mind come to destroy the weak and believing!
A nightclub singer has nightmares about being involved in adultery and murder, only to wake up and find that they may not be nightmares.
Just when you thought it was safe to sunbathe by the pool, along comes a redhead with a shotgun.
Sleaze meets suspense in this fever-dream of low-budget lounge lizard melodrama, where poolside seductions and musical numbers are just the warm-up for a surreal spiral of murder and blackmail. Peter Carpenter croons, Dyanne Thorne smolders, and nobody's safe from the sun—or the shotgun.

Point of Terror is a 1971 United States drama, horror, musical, mystery, and thriller film directed by Alex Nicol about a nightclub singer whose nightmares of adultery and murder may not be dreams after all.
Why Cult
Blurring the line between dreams and reality, the film weaves flashbacks, nightmarish visions, and dream sequences into its sleazy narrative.
From swimming pool seductions to nightclub performances, exploitation elements abound—think nudity, erotica, and sun-drenched violence.
A rare blend of musical numbers and psychotronic horror, with a bar singer protagonist serenading his way through mayhem.
Independent, psychotronic, and proudly low-budget, it's a time-capsule of early '70s exploitation cinema.
