Point of Contact (2006)

Thanks for the memories!

Just what I expected

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Awesome Movie

I have just watched "Ghost Hunters: Point of Contact" and the story is an awful senseless mess. The beginning is so confused that is impossible to be understood or described. Then, the "messenger of the dead" Jake has been in coma for twelve years in a hospital in Los Angeles without any atrophy of his muscles, but out of the blue he awakes seeing the dead and moves to the house of the nurse Elaine.One year and three months later, his beard and Elaine vanish from the story and now he has apparently teamed up with a group of ghost hunters and he meets the psychic Andrea Riley. They go to an abandoned house, where a man killed his wife and two children many years ago, and the flick ends without conclusion or explanation. I believe that the (very low) budget has finished before the completion of this film and the producers decided to release it anyway without continuity. I know that "advice when most needed is least heeded", but my advice is to avoid this terrible film. My vote is one (awful).Title (Brazil): "Mensageiro dos Mortos" ("Messenger of the Dead")

I think that Point of Contact is movie that is incomplete with missing scenes that would explain the main character, Jake's psychic abilities. His girlfriend ,who is the nurse in the movie, appears and disappears from the movie. Who knows what happened to her? The writer of the psychic book helps Jake with his visions of the dead but hides the truth about why she wants to go into this haunted house. It appears that the filmmakers wanted to create a scary and creepy film about the supernatural abilities of an individual. They failed to follow through with a decent ending. Everyone will ask why does Jake have these visions of the dead?

There was quite a lot of filler in this story. Watching the main actor constantly looking in a dream sequence type of scene was annoying. I was also very disappointed in the ending as well ... I expected more ... at least closure.But given these things, I actually enjoyed the movie. Since I did not pay for this movie (watched it on AmericanFree TV), it was well worth the price. I really wanted to see a dramatic end, but the movie ended on the edge of what could have been the best scene of the movie ... but did not.In conclusion, I would rather see a condenced version without the "dream sequence" look ... and a better ending. If you like thrillers, and you can look past these flaws ... I recommend it.

Awful, just awful. I realize that this was originally shot as a one-hour series, but they apparently didn't have enough material between what episodes they shot to put together a movie of any worth.To begin with, it's boring...terribly boring. Nothing happens. Even the murder scenes (wherein the "bodies" often blink while the camera moves over them) are boring. Short scenes between the male and female lead seem to go on forever.Next, a large portion of the film is "filler". The opening and credit montage is several minutes long and it just depicts a series of "visions" or "manifestations" in jump-shots. You have no idea what you're watching, because there's been no story or plot yet, and eventually the shots begin to cycle...guy with a green light shining up over his face, bloody murder victim on the rug, people standing in a dark room, and then back again to the guy with the green light in his face. It's obvious that they director had to fill in 15 minutes or so throughout the film to make it even as long as it was.Finally, the story (what little there is) stinks. The characters make pronouncements that are unwarranted, perform contradictorily to what their stated beliefs are, and just basically talk about anything and everything without coming to any conclusion.Now, I like a lot of bad movies. At least bad movies often keep your interest. This movie, however, is snore-inducing.Avoid it at all costs.
