sddavis63 I found the bulk of the story in this actually fairly interesting. Trail guide Drake Jacobs takes a group of somewhat unprepared hikers on to the Appalachian Trail. Then he takes them off trail ("what do you need a trail guide for if you're just going to hike the trail. You can just follow the tourists," he said.) and they end up lost and having to contend with - well - something. Some being. Some creature. Some force. Some disease. It wasn't really entirely clear what they were dealing with. Which actually made the movie more mysterious and actually even compelling. You follow along because you do want the mystery to be revealed, and because for the most part the performances from little known actors were decent enough.The problems with "Beacon Point," though, come at the beginning and end of the movie - probably the two most important parts of a movie. The movie opens by introducing us to Zoe - one of the hikers - but I thought it did so in a rather silly way and at least for that opening scene she didn't strike me as a serious character - which was too bad, because she emerges as the movie's most serious and central character. We then move on to Drake's confrontation with his boss before the hiking trip begins - a confrontation that served absolutely no purpose, because it had nothing really to do with the story that then unfolded. The movie wouldn't have unfolded any differently at all without that unnecessary scene. Meanwhile, after all the mystery about exactly what's going on, the movie resolves almost nothing. So you spend an hour and a half watching this and get left high and dry in the end. What happened to this group of campers? I guess we'll never know.And yet, I'll still give this a 6/10. The meat of the story and the mystery involved was compelling enough and kept me watching, even if, in the end, it let me down with that unsatisfying ending.

kanjeep This movie is all over the place! It's full of holes, has a terrible plot and has no ending. Don't waste your time!

maddi-81446 Gave this movie a 2 star rating and that's only because of the scenery. Thought I would watch this based on the cover pic (They have been watching.... Now they are here) Yeah right let me tell you if you expect to see that in the film you are sadly mistaken. This movie explains nothing, is it alien, is it a bad military plot or experiment Who the hell knows. If they had put a bit more though into the actual story it might have been an all right movie but please DON'T waste your time on this piece of crap

lynnbarr-72128 A movie that had so much potential but fell flat on it's face. The plot is never really explained, the characters are dull you really don't care what happens to them. It all points to Alien abduction, have they been spying on the human race? the movie seems to be going in that direction, but still some explanation of how and why they are here was needed, why did some humans die and others didn't after being abducted. It all seemed like a rushed script no real thought to the story, i would not recommend this movie,
